Still looking for a good solution. Samba did not work well. Now I am installing minidlna on my laptop with AP-linux. I've installed minidlna and tomorrow i'am going to configure the config file..
I will let you know.

I nearly stopped searching to a good solution. But
I re-installed Linux Mint 18.3 on my testing laptop. Installed Samba, shared my Music folder with NEMO rightclick.
et Voila, it is shared over the network and I can see it in VLC. Playing the music is wirth gaps, but it works!

Next week next step.

I'am using a laptop with AP-Linux (Arch based) for my music. https://www.ap-linux.com/
On my other computers I use LinuxMint 18.3.

You sure that IP address is correct? Maybe you need to restart the Samba on the Linux computer (or the computer itself). You are so right! it is 192.168.178.19. But, Unknown host. I set http://192.168.178.19 and without the http And I can not reach for the shared folder from my other linux laptop. ...

Thanks, I will give a reaction after my try.
And I will check if it will play my FLAC files.

Greetings,

Thanks, but nope.
I realize, last time I tried Samba I made some changes in the config file. I will check that with my other computer.

Greetings,

Okay, I will give it a try again. The Music folder is on an other harddisk. (/mnt/56dc92ae-bad5-430b-8f65-14a5e1b34a5b/Music) Via NEMO I went to that folder, right-click the mouse and set the folder to SHARE. How can I use a Music app to access that folder on my smartphone? Do I have to provide the ...

Thanks, In the past I' ve tried to work with Samba. Did not work out for me. Yesterday I've installed NFS (Network File System) on the laptop. I will figure out how to to connect with it from VLC on the smartphone. I'll let you know.

Greetings,

What I'm looking for: I have installed AP-Linux on a laptop (Arch based). MPD is playing there and the music from that laptop goes through the Cantata Music Player to a DAC and to the amplifier and the boxes. Great sound. As a remote control to control Cantata on the laptop, I use the M.A.L.P. app. ...

Thanks, nice to know some people understand Dutch.

Hello, My first experience with Linux was in 2007, but I only changed OS in 2016: LinuxMint 17. This year I discovered the PC as a music player. On a laptop I installed APlinux with MPD and Cantata, connected to a DAC that is connected to my HIFI stereo. I also run Cantata on LinuxMint 18. Last week...
