Wirelessly Stream Audio?

[hackington]

Hey guys I have a hard drive connected to my router. I can access the files on this computer anywhere on the network (specifically audio .mp3/.wav files) I can choose the song I want and play it straight away.

Using the internet (in a friends house) I can dial in my IP address and log into these files. I can see all my audio files. I can download them and play them, however I can not STREAM these files

I want to be able to have a script/application that allows the user to see all these files and choose the files and stream the audio. I was wondering is there anyway I can write a script and embed it on a website that allows the user to stream (not download these files) I began writing some code for this. I can download the files but can't stream them.

If I click the URL: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/shares/usb/Pete/x/ ... ne_Day.mp3

I get the option to download/play the file. I want to embed this into my website so It can be streamed, Some simple testing using:

<embed src="http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/shares/usb/Pete/x/%26ME_One_Day.mp3"
width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE">
</embed>

It won't play it. But if I just put a link to the file it's self it will download and play properly.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks guys!

You'll need a streaming service to do this. I'd suggest something like Icecast.
