Title: How to Add Local MP3 Files at /mplayer without wasting Bandwidth
Post by: legndery on 14 11, 2015, 10:43:32 am

We need to put a http://path_to_mp3.mp3 link to the /mplayer Song URL field. For more technically savy users if I say putting 127.0.0.1 as hostname works then I think they can get what I am trying to say.

So Let's Get Started:

**NOTE: I am using EasyPHP 12.1, Your Settings maybe little bit Different.

• What you basically need is a home server. I use EasyPHP and I will be Showing you the EasyPHP setup as it's easier, you can use any server you want like XAMPP, WAMP anything.
  So Download and Install The server package (EasyPHP/ XAMPP/WAMP). (http://www.easyphp.org/easyphp-devserver.php)
  
  
• Now Start The Server:
  For EasyPHP the Server Get's Automatically Started when you open the Software(If there is an error you can Run as Administrator). If Not Click 'Apache'->'Start'
  
  
• Make an Alias to your Music Folder:
  
  • a) Right Click on EasyPHP icon on the taskbar and Click 'Administration' or Open http://127.0.0.1/home. This Should open the EasyPHP administartion Page.
  • b) There Should be a Link Called '+add an alias' click it.
  • c) In the "Create a name for the Alias" field Enter a name for Example "My_Music"
  • d) In the "Copy the path to the directory you have created" Enter your Music Folder path. i.e "E:\Music" or something
  • e) Click Save and You're done.
  
  
• Now in the /mplayer add an url like "http://127.0.0.1/My_Music/<music_name>.mp3" and if everything goes fine the Song will play without any Bandwidth usage.
