Networked Audio using FireBall Music Clients

Servers

A FireBall Server is a Fireball media management system that is capable of “serving” media to other FireBalls over a network. The FireBall is a considered a “server” product.

Clients

A FireBall Client is a FireBall that can play media from a FireBall Server over a network. Currently there are three different FireBall products that can play media from FireBall servers:

•FireBall MP-150

•FireBall DVDM-100

•Client-Server networking is limited to the same local subnet. You can not stream over the Internet unless you have a VPN setup between the two FireBalls.

•Only MP3 and FLAC audio files can be streamed to clients. You can’t stream CDs from the internal drive or from external changers.

•Playlists that contain only MP3s/FLAC files will be available on the clients.

•Playlists that contain MP3s/FLAC files and non-streamable tracks will NOT appear on the clients.

•You may have an unlimited number of clients on the network, but you can only stream to 4 clients simultaneously.

•Movies can not be streamed.

•Internet Radio can not be streamed (but it is available on most standalone products).
