Controlling android player from PC

Postby manub686 » Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:18 am

Hi,

I want to plug in my android phone to the speakers and play songs on it that are controlled from the server side, i.e., the PC. It seems that subsonic's streaming is pull based, where I can set up the server and choose what to play using the device interface. A push type streaming mode would allow me to use the device as a wireless adapter to the speakers, so that I don't have to run an audio cable from speakers to my laptop. Is it possible to do this in the current subsonic server + device app distribution? If not, I can post this as a feature request and also contribute to its development.

Thanks,
Manu

Welcome
The answers are no it can't (as far as I know)
and yes if you could repost in Feature Requests

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

Here's what I do to stream music from my phone to the HiFi, this also works from my laptop.

Bluetooth is the solution.

I have a bluetooth reciever(QUED U-Play) that hooks into the AUX channel on the HiFi, pair this with your phone / laptop, I can now stream from phone / laptop with the added benefit of no wires 8)

I suspect this aint what you're getting at, but this nailed it for me.

Just my 2p worth

Peace

E2A:

QED U-Play:
"Effective, good value and fun: if you're looking for an easy way to get music from your phone to hi-fi, go for it". What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine.

The QED uPlay Bluetooth receiver is the ideal way of transferring music from your mobile phone or other Bluetooth equipped device to your hi-fi. With a maximum range of around 10 metres, the uPlay is designed to let you hold your phone and select the track you want to listen to, without being tied by cables. As you'd expect from QED, sound quality is above average, thanks to quality, thick cables and metal bodied plugs.

Connect into a dock or mini system via 3.5mm mini jack or use the supplied double RCA phono adaptor to connect to your separate amp or AV receiver.

Get your phone connected for music with this gadget that actually works!
