Hey, sorry for the late reply!Howdy howdy, I made this account to specifically ask how to set up a server properly as it kept saying
"Connection Error (Timeout)" even if I typed IP correctly.
I also have a question on what you mean by "If FFmpeg is not found, download it from ffmpeg.org and place the binary in the server/ directory."
Is there anything I'm specifically supposed to do? If so, please tell me as I'm lost.
Cheers!
Thanks for trying my app!
For the connection timeout — a few things to check:
- Make sure your PC and 3DS are on the same Wi-Fi network
- When the server starts, it shows something like `Server started on http://192.168.x.x:8080` — use that exact IP on your 3DS
- Check if your firewall is blocking port 8080. On Windows, you might need to add an inbound rule for it
- You can also open `http://127.0.0.1:8080` in your browser to confirm the server is actually running — you should see a dashboard
For the ffmpeg part — the server looks for `ffmpeg.exe` right next to `proxy.py` in the `server/` folder. So:
1. Go to https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
2. Download a Windows build (the "essentials" one is fine)
3. Extract it and copy `ffmpeg.exe` into the `server/` folder (same directory as `proxy.py`)
I'm working on an update that'll handle the ffmpeg setup automatically, so this won't be an issue in the future. Let me know if you're still stuck!
Post automatically merged:
v1.4.0 Update
Hey everyone, v1.4.0 is out!
The biggest change: the server is now a standalone EXE. No more Python setup, no more manually downloading FFmpeg.
Just extract the zip and run it — everything gets downloaded automatically on first launch.
What's new:
- StreaMu-Server.zip — extract, run, done. No dependencies needed.
- FFmpeg and yt-dlp are auto-downloaded on first launch
- Completely rewritten README with a quick start guide, troubleshooting tips, and full feature documentation
What's in the README now (based on your feedback — thanks!):
- Step-by-step setup for both EXE and Python versions
- How playlists work (creating, adding tracks, playing)
- How to set a custom wallpaper
- All settings explained
- Troubleshooting for connection timeouts and firewall issues
Grab it here: https://github.com/imissuuuu/StreaMu/releases/tag/v1.4.0
As always, feedback is welcome!
