TVDinner - Streaming MP3 Server

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called TVDinner?

When Rosie first "commissioned" the project, that's what the code-name was and it stuck. There's no changing it now because it's been TVDinner for way too long.

What does TVDinner do?

Basically, it organizes your MP3 collection, indexes it in a database for easy reference and then provides a web interface so that you can stream music anywhere there's a decent network connection.

What operating systems does TVDinner work on?

So far, it's been tested on OpenBSD and Red Hat Linux, although I'm sure that it will run on any *nix flavor. I'm not sure that it would work with Windows -- try it and let me know.

What are the minimum system specs?

I've had this setup running on a Pentium 133 w/32MB of RAM. You're going to need a lot of HD space -- I recommend 10+ gigs.
