Banshee - Web remote

Installation

I've written a web application that controls Banshee media player in Linux via your navigator. In order to use it, you need to download this Banshee plugin written by Knickedi and have a web server that handle php. And to enjoy the playlist functionality (optional) your webserver should handle PDO and sqlite too. Download the file to /usr/lib/banshee/Extensions (requires root access).

Once the plugin is downloaded, open up Banshee and go to Edit->Preferences, Extensions tab. Scroll down until you see an entry called "Remote Listener" as shown below:

Check the checkbox next to it and click close. Open the same window (Edit->Preferences) again and you'll notice that another tab has been created labeled "Remote Control":

This controls the port to connect to Banshee. And the password id is meant to prevent misuses.

Then you should download the web application (that you can find here). And unzip it into your www path (often /var/www).

Go to http://localhost/ (or the url of the web server if it is accessed remotely).

You should see this:

Now click on the parameter button at the upper right corner.

Enter the Ip of Banshee, the same port and the same id password as before and click the refresh button (on the page):

Now you are done!

You can find the Banshee remote plugin project page here. And you can post any question or issues with this web application here.
