Hi,
honestly i tried to search a lot but wasnt lucky with finding this feature. Please, could you help me and advise me if it is possible or what is the easiest way to do this..
I have xtrend et7000 with openpli OS.
I want to play music that is located on the hdd connected to my xtrend device, but i dont want to start TV or use standard remote control for xtrend. I would like to run the music from computer or some android device that are on the same network..

It is possible to do some remote control from web interface but i dont see that any options for media on my hdd.

Could you help me please?
Thanks
Mike

Hi,

install/activate an uPnP/DLNA server and each uPnP-/DLNA-Player should see the music on your box. MiniDLNA or Mediatomb are 2 of these servers.

The thing is that i dont want to stream media through my lan network... but I want my xtrend stb to play it, since its output is connected to av receiver.  Therefore i would like to play music on my xtrend without turning on the TV.

Is it possible to control playing media on my xtrend from application on lan network .. ?

 

It is very similar functionality as Open Webif already have. I can switch channels, turn on off device, change volume settings... there is just missing functionality for media located on usb ...

In the WEB-IF you can use the full-remote to control the box completely. So you can simply playback any file you want, as if you were sitting in front of the TV.
 

It there is just missing functionality for media located on usb ...

If you mean the playback functionality of the WEB-IF (under 'recordings'): just add a bookmark to the USB-device (under recording locations).
Or even more simple: in the header of the recordings you can navigate to all devices and directories.

ok, it is possible to play music / video through open web if, but it is not  very practical.

 

Do i need to play every song alone ? i miss there option, "play all"  in folder ... i miss options like skip by xy minutes, seconds in  media file. Is there any a bit more complex solution for remote control of media files located on stb?

 

Besides that, is there any option to play e.g. youtube clips through webif or similar interface ?

I didn't mean through the WEB-IF, but using the WEB-IF-RC.

Depending on the settings in the context menu of the movielist all songs in a folder will be played, or just a single song.

Besides that, is there any option to play e.g. youtube clips through webif or similar interface ?

Yes, via the same WEB-IF-RC.
