So I have been using mplayer to stream my music through SSH from my laptop to my Ubuntu box using:
ssh user@ip-address "cat /Some/Random/Directory/*mp3" | mplayer -
I was just wondering if there is a better way of doing this because currently I cannot skip through songs and such.
Does anyone know of a better way or a better program to stream music other than mplayer? Or perhaps some suggestion about the mplayer configuration?
Install Subsonic, perhaps? You can stream music from it, play music on the hosting computer (if you want), and it can play your music on iPhone and Android devices, too (using special apps, of course).
