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).
