Same for music. Sure, Ampache is set up and works beautifully at home, behind my router but how do I use it to access my 170+GB music collection from work or elsewhere? If this is possible now, ehere if anywhere are step-by-stem instructions? I really really really like Amahi. I've told everyone I talk to about how awesome it is, how easy it is to get a file server working with almost zero configuration thanks to you guys. But what it really needs in my opinion is bullet-proof media streaming outside my router, password controlled of course. I tried the VPN. It doesn't work with my company's firewall, apparently. So I can't even go that route.
