Rhythmote

iPhone

Rhythmbox Remote for the iPhone/iTouch or Android

This project is adapted from Rhythmweb, created by Michael Gratton.

Rhythmote lets you control Rhythmbox remotely, from any web browser. It is not an Internet radio server - it does not play music in your web browser, rather it lets you control Rhythmbox, a popular Linux music client, on a machine other than the one it is running on.

Installation on Rhythmbox

To install, unzip and copy the 'rhythmweb' directory to ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins, start Rhythmbox, go to the Edit > Plugins... menu and check the Enabled checkbox for Rhythmweb.

Installation on the iPhone

Just open Safari and browse to the machine running on port 8000, eg: http://localhost:8000/

    I've some problems:

    - Doesn't work with localhost url on iPhone.
    Should be: http://your-machine-name.local:8000 and works.
    - But when I use url with machine name, and press any option (next song, change volume loads a wrong page (twice 8000 port):
    http://your-machine-name.local:8000:8000/
    Can you fix it?

    Thanks and congrats!!! Awesome plugin!!!

    Toda vez que executo um comando pelo iphone ele redireciona pra um endereço incorreto, fica assim :
    http://meuip:8000:8000
    repetindo o 8000 causando um erro, sabe o que pode ser???

    Como não fui eu que fiz o script em Python, não consegui alterar isso, por isso fiz um simples redirect em php no meu documentRoot para voltar ao meuip:8000

    When I click any option in the Rhythmbox web page it redirects to my local server page. Any solution to stop doing this?

    To fix the wrong port issue, replace line 398 of __init__.py

    From
    authority = '%s:%s' % (authority, port)
    to
    authority = '%s' % (authority)

    Thx for the plugin!

    Great plugin! I'd love to see full WAWI-level playlist/media library access. Without, that is, diving into the insanity that is rhythmote (works great, unless you have a huge music library) http://www.winamp.com/plugin/winamp-web-interface/92511 is the WAWI (for Winamp) plugin homepage, and I can walk you through my local version if you're interested.

    Having some trouble getting the plug-in to activate. I have downloaded the plug-in and installed it per the instructions. When I try to activate it viat "Edit > Plug-Ins" I get a message stating, "Unable to activate plug-in Rhythmweb."

    I am running Fedora 12 with Rhythmbox 0.12.5. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    This looks like exactly what I need, but I'm having the same problem as Nicholas Hatch. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the work - I can't wait to try it.

    Check if you have Python installed. You may also need to open the 8000 port on your firewall settings...
