Amphion Jukebox System / News: Recent posts

A new amphion client has been committed to
the CVS repository that provides web-based
control over an amphion server. Designed
to be light enough to be useful from a
web-enabled cell phone. :)

The Windows clients that were in FTP space
have been moved to web space (as most sf
projects have been instructed to do).

Updated links on amphion.sourceforge.net

There is now an Amphion server in 100% Java. It is multi-threaded, removing the bug in the C++ server of dying clients hanging the server. It has all the functionality of the C++ version, and should be more stable. It requires mpg123, or a player with the same "remote interface", and the "setvol" program or equivalent to change the volume. Check out the source from CVS (javaServer), and run make in the javaServer directory. Tested with JDK 1.3 _only_.... read more

More bugs have been fixed in the Java clients and the server. Some documentation has been updated.

New version of the Python client available that fixes the bug with saving/loading playlists.

A new Java client, SyncClient, has been added - this client mirrors a playlist on one server to any number of others. This client has no user interface, and is run from the command line. See the README in javaClients for some more info.

A new version of the server and clients is available. Amphion now includes a graphical Java client (using Swing/JDK 1.2). The database generation has been extended to allow for merging of multiple music archives, with some conflict resolution. The server and clients are now platform-independant, as byte-ordering issues have been dealt with.

The windows client and status programs are on the ftp server.

Source has been uploaded into CVS. To get it do:

NOTE: Amphion is capitalized internally, so you'll checkout from
/cvsroot/Amphion. The module is lowercased.

Paul did the web page. We've got a mailing list now, too.

Source should be here by Tuesday.

We've just started at Source Forge and are figuring
things out.
