Hi,
I'm setting up a media machine, currently using oS12.3. It is attached to my TV as a monitor and the Hi-Fi for audio output. When I log in directly, all works as expected.
When I log in remotely with ssh -X user@host from my main machine however, I can run my chosen audio player (clementine) but when trying to play any audio I get a "Connection refused" error unless the user is also logged in on the media box. This rather defeats the object of running the audio player remotely. How can I make the audio server (pulse) available with no logged in users on the media server (only the ssh -X connection)?
Cheers Dylan
Dylan, Take a look at Music Player Daemon <http://www.musicpd.org/>. I have it installed on my main machine here, and the daemon starts automatically after boot-up. It can be controlled from the command line, but there are also several graphical interfaces, my preference being GMPC. I can control the audio output from my laptop (also using GMPC) or my Android phone, using Droid MPD client. MPD and GMPC are available in Packman.
