localhost isn't being a localhost?

**magnethead** · 10-04-2009, 07:36 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to do something basic: I have Windows Media Encoder on port 8080 on my server (LAN hybridtwist, static 192.168.0.106) with Apache server 2.2, port 80. Using DynDNS, i have an external (PHP passworded) page which points to the DynDNS page (iframed), so that I can listen to my music library anywhere I have an internet browser with the MMS://WMV plugin.

WME:8080 -> Apache 2.2:80 -> web browser -> speakers

I've tried 127.0.0.1 and localhost, and they only work when I use IE on the server machine (firefox and other machines don't work). If I use 192.168.0.106 or hybridtwist, it will work on any machine in the house (firefox and out-of-LAN computers wont work).

I thought localhost is always supposed to reference the computer which is serving the client? Or does this only work in PHP??

What do I need to do so that I can pull the audio stream from out of my house? I only have port 80 open via ISP, so I can't run Apache and WME parrallel without both using port 80..which doesn't work :(

Is there not a way to configure apache to only listen to "http://" and "ftp://" and WME to only listen to "mms://" ??

Code:

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="640" height="480" 
	style="position:absolute; left:10;top:10;"
	CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
	type="application/x-oleobject">
	
	<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="mms://127.0.0.1:8080">
	<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
	<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
	<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
	<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>
