Yesterday I was looking for some way of streaming all media files stored on my PC to my iPhone. I found iEvince by way of this video on Youtube and started playing with it.

I had some issues setting up PHP on my web-server (Windows installer returns an error), but once properly configured I just had to copy the whole folder to the server to get it working instantly. Then I had to go around the virtual directories and config files to get iEvince to point to my media folder, which is in another drive... more issues with IIS and PHP.

Finally I noticed some minor bugs, such as not all files and folders being accessible, problems with special characters and file types. Immediately I was set to fix it, without ever having written a single line in PHP. "Scripting languages are all alike, how hard can it be?"

10 hours later... (Attached: iEvince11.rar and iEvince12.rar updated according to cmutter's suggestion)

Excerpt from README.TXT (included):

iEvince is a content delivery system designed to allow easy access of your home
media files on your iphone and/or other mobile devices.

Features:

Folder based organization and navigation, uses server's OS file system.
Easily edited layout system, allows for custom interfaces.
REGEXP powered filtering system.

this is a little over my head, I always have to get my son in law to help me with this kind of stuff...I was really upset when I got Vista because my old Palm Pilot would not sync w/my computer anymore (software wasn't compatible) :(
if it took you 10 hours, it would have taken me 30 :)

I don't even have a phone. I'm completely lost here.

nice piece of software! It streams nicely movies and music, but I am trying to figure out how to add stream from my webcam to this. Any hints?
thank you

I don't think you can do it using this script. I know there are server apps that show cams on web pages though.

for some reason I get %2F after every folder, like resources/Video%2Ffilename.mp3
Changed it in lib file to str = str.replace('/', '/'); and still nothing...
Using XAMPP on windows XP home edition.

It replaces spaces and slashes to maintain browser compatibility.

I always experience this with PHP...it's really not that stable as using a framework...but I agree that all languages are alike though...

To back up my files, I use cd duplication...I burn files to save versions of my code...

It can also be due to IIS settings, you probably need to fix mime types.
