Vibe Streamer

siit

I got a mail from a friend that have successfully been running Vibe Streamer on Ubuntu using Wine (http://www.winehq.com/). Here's a quick guide for those of you that want to run the current Windows version of Vibe Streamer on Linux. This guide is for Ubuntu only but he stated it might work on other systems aswell.

* apt-get update && apt-get install mozilla-firefox wget wine
* wget <adress to vibestreamer-installation.exe>
* wine vibestreamer-installation.exe
* click "run vibe streamer" in the end of the installation,or start it using the "start" menu, or write "wine" and the path to vibestreamer.exe.. depending on how you want to start it.
* run firefox
* browse to the adress and the port for vibe streamer (http://localhost:8081)
* if you haven't got it, install macromedia flash plugin (by following firefox own 'install missing plugin'-guide)
* if you don't get any sound from flash, edit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc and change FIREFOX_DSP="none" to FIREFOX_DSP="aoss" and run apt-get install alsa-oss.. then restart firefox.

For documentation on Vibe Streamer itself, check out the website and the forum.

That's it...

Thanks to Emil Lind for this quick guide. Try it out if you're interested and please give feedback if you think this guide need any updates.

this is step in the right direction )))

i have one question:
what version of Ubuntu is used in the example?

the reason i'm asking is ... i have one small Ubuntu (6.06 Dapper Drake) server, and i tried with wine long ago. unfortunately when the GUI (Vibestreamer.exe) starts it is absolutely empty. i cannot add users or shares ... nothing.

I did it on Ubuntu Edgy/Eft i think.
But i have also encountered the problems you (inf3c73d) describe. But that was on an old Debian Unstable of some sort... No text was visible in any listboxes. But it was still useable. As long as you know where to click. =) After some practice i successfully got it up and running. And except from that little bug, and also a wine-related bug not releasing the socket when stopping the server in the gui, needing a restart - it works great!

I could investigate closer on the versions if it's of interest.

edit: versions checked and corrected

Installs on Ubuntu 6.06 with Wine 0.9.26. Connects internally. Problem connecting externally as below:

Using Firefox 2 and IE7, able to make connection to the server, prompted for username/password, and then presented with this:

All routing is properly configured.

I followed the instructions, and everything works except for one key thing. I can't check the box for a user to access a share. Anyone know how to fix this?

I run Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy on a Dell Dimension 4700.

And Vibe works in Windows XP (on the same machine), btw.

Yep - same here. It started after a Wine upgrade (I think to 0.9.30 - not sure about it) , so maybe downgrading to an older Wine version could be the solution - not tried yet

In addition to my previous reply: I downgraded to Wine 0.9.28 version and the problem with checking the username is gone.

I'm getting this same problem. I was already on Ubuntu Feisty but my wine version was 0.9.33. I upgraded to the most recent which is 0.9.40 and I still get this trying to connect to it remotely.

It comes up just fine on the local machine. I'm trying to connect to it through the internet (hamachi.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nathan

I just downgraded to 0.9.35 and it worked this time. Must have a problem with the most recent versions.

Many of you have probably already got this working. But since my first reported success in running vibestreamer on Linux using Wine I've also had theese issues with only getting the frameset and a bunch of code slamming me in the face. Today I got the need for listening to My own music, remotely, again, and this time I threw in the latest compiled binary from winehq. Now it works beautifully! Here's a proof of success for those of you that are still wondering... Very Happy

Using:
Ubuntu 7.04 / Feisty
Package repos from:
http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
Package: wine
Version: 0.9.47~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1

Also because I'm currently in the sofa in the livingroom I ofcourse use putty with an X11-Forward pointing at a local Xming X-window-server. Wich makes this even more cool. With the server-gui forwarded to my livingroom... and the webgui at my fingertips, playing the music, in my livingroom. But still not having to index music over cifs/samba, getting weird timeoutproblems and what not...

I don't see any reason for this not working with any other Linux distribution. Redhat, Suse, Slackware, Gentoo or whatever...

Thank you Wine ppl, and thank your Erik! Keep it up! Wink
