The Headless HorseMP3 is a PHP script designed to be an interface for
playing MP3s (or any
other type of file with slight modification) on the web server. My
intended use is to be
able to play MP3s from a headless (no keyboard, mouse, or monitor) old
computer which I can
stick out of the way, under a bed or something. However many other
uses do come to mind.
One could use it to scare their college roommate by making their
computer start playing MP3s
from a public lab, or even start a web-cam like server where the public
internet controls
what music (out of your collection, entirely legal of course) you
listen to.
Not yet. Soon. Very Soon.
Make sure you have PHP working with your web server. (HHMP3 has
only been tested under
apache-ssl, but should work with anything supporting PHP I think.)
Untar the file into a directory shared by your web server.
(tar xvfz hhmp3-0.1.tgz)
Change the owner of the hhmp3 (or whatever you named it) to the web
server user, usually either nobody or www-data. You could also make the
directory and its contents world writable.
Edit hhmp3.php3 and set your mp3 player, "mp3 root" (where all your
mp3s are), and the username and password, (or comment out the password
authentication section.)
Load up the page in your trusty web browser.
Play Music
load up your web browser.
load up the url for the php script.
Click on a directory to enter the directory, click on play to play
the contents of the
directory, (it is recursive, so all sub directories will be included.)
Click on "Next Song" to kill the mp3 player and move onto the next
song.
Click on "Stop playing" to clear out the playlist and then kill
the player.

Drop me a line if you have found (and preferably fixed) a bug, made
modifications to the code, found the project useful and want to tell me,
or just want to brag to your friends that you sent me, Ethan Sommer, an
e-mail. My e-mail is sommere@users.sourceforge.net
A final note: Don't do anything I wouldn't do... unless you think it
would
be a lot of fun... which is probably the case if I wouldn't do it.... so
just ignore this. :)
