🔧 If something doesn't work...

❌ I can't connect from other devices

This is the most common problem. Your router is blocking port 9090 for security reasons.

💡 Solution: You need to enable "port Forwarding" on your router for port 9090. In the "LAN Host IP Address" option, enter the IP of the computer running AudioStreamer.

🔍 Look for the "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Servers" option in your router settings. Each router has a different menu, so we can't give specific instructions.

❌ Other common problems

  • Music is not playing: Check if the path is correct and do "create database" again
  • I can't connect to localhost:9090: Make sure the program is running as administrator.
  • The music cuts out: Check your internet connection
  • I don't remember the password: Use admin/start and create a new user

📝 Recap

AudioStreamer is a powerful tool that allows you to enjoy your music collection from anywhere. For it to work properly:

  • ✅ Make sure the application is running on localhost: 9090
  • ✅ Set up Port Forwarding for port 9090
  • ✅ Use your external IP for internet access
  • ✅ For the external IP, visit ip4.me
⚠️ Note: It will work fine on the local network. For internet access, additional security settings on the router may be required.
