[coherence-dev] Fwd: Having issues getting coherence working...

[Phil Wild]

Another question...

Can someone explain to me how the plugin works. Does it act like a
proxy and tunnel the music stream to the device or does it just
provide a directory listing of the data in ampache and expect the
receiver to contact ampache direct via the URL to play the music. The
reason I ask is that I have configured coherence to point to the
ampache setup on the same host and so the configuration is setup up as
http://localhost/ampache...."

If it simply tells my receiver to go to that address, it will not find
the track. Am I supposed to set up coherence to talk to the actual ip
address (i.e. http://10.3.0.3/ampache/....)

I am at work at the moment and can not test.... I am guessing the
first option...

Cheers

Phil
