How to stream .mp4 and .mp3 files from RasPi ?

[aditik7]

Hi All,
I am complete newbie to RasPi.
The idea of the project is to make RasPI a wifi hotspot and host a media center on apache webserver.
Allow users to connect to wifi and stream .mp4 and .mp3 files on various devices(using browsers only no client download).
So far I have tried

• miniDLNA (Needs a client)
  apache h264 streaming module
  ffmpeg ( not compiling )

but no luck.
I have installed raspbian - wheezy (type B).
I have connected RasPi to LAN and trying to hit apache from Desktops.
I am totally lost. Plz help.

Thanks

you can't completely prevent download/copy so just use an HTML5 audio tag, or use something pre-made like jplayer.

take a look at http://xbmc.org/ or Raspbmc

You could try my Social Media Server Edna++. It serves all kinds of media and creates m3u playlists on the fly. It's a standalone Python webserver, so no other software is required. You'll find the download link and a short description in the manual of my Minimal Kiosk Browser.
