Recent releases

Changes: This release features the removal of the weak password protection system that was previously present. The protection was so weak and misguided that removal is a better thing for users than attempting to make it work. Additionally, several small bugs were fixed.
- 22 Apr 2007 11:42
Changes: This release fixes a minor bug that meant links to download movies were broken, and adds support for "HTTP Digest" authentication. No other changes were made, and future development of this branch of the project has now officially ceased.

Although there is a problem with slower machine, this is exactly the solution that I deploy on one of the computers in my home office to streaming mp3 files across the room.
It works great on Windows, and it saves a lot of disk space. Plus, it sounds like cool to have some kind of "music server" at home.
Nowadays that I work at home and spend a few hours a day blogging, music keeps me occupied and entertained.
Thank you.
Perfect and easy!
I recently bought a couple of Linux eee UMPC and i wanted to be able to watch movies and listen to music without storing any media on the eee's. Gnump3d was the easiest solution i have seen so far. It was very easy to setup and i really like the web interface.
Its very nice that it can generate the file lists by itself. Whatever i put into my media directory is imediately avaliable for the clients.
Good job guys, and hey, thanks!

GNUMP3d is now part of Debian GNU/Linux!
If you're running the unstable version of Debian you may install it with a simple 'apt-get install gnump3d'.
(Just read the FAQ to see if there are any problems at the moment.. ;)
