Remote control of the Jukebox at Fablab
I was thinking that is great to stay at Fablab with music, and procastinating I saw an application that allow you to control the itunes music player of a machine, from any other computer.
The app is called itunesremote and is free software:
http://itunesremote.sourceforge.net/
First I installed the server in the macox music machine :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itunesremote/files/iTunesRemoteServer/0....
Then the client in a computer with ubuntu:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itunesremote/files/iTunesRemote-gtk/0.0....
Then you have to compile it, be sure that you have installed the libgtk libraries.
I had some problems when I compiled, seems because the compatibility with the gcc version of some goto statements(!) in itunesremote.c I modified the file in a fast and messy way. The file is attached here you have to change it from the original. (Note that the extension is jpg because this CMS now only allows some file formats, change the extension to.c) Once you make this, to compile it type:
make
sudo make install
Then execute the itunesremote server in the music machine and see the IP and port, in the client set the ip and port, and connect.
Works but it´s quite buggy(may be in other OS works better).
It´s funny at the end!
