What is this

AMP is a UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) media server in a java applet, powered by Cling UPNP, Apache HttpCore, and Apache Commons. Zero installation required. All you need is a browser that supports Java.

How to use

When the applet finishes loading, the media server is running. Simply drag and drop the files you wish to share into the box labeled "shared media" to add them. As soon as they show up they are available to other devices on your home network. Not all file types are supported at this time, and unsupported files won't be listed here. You can also drop folders into the window to add all supported content from that folder and subfolders.

Once you've chosen some media to share, turn on your nearest upnp device (e.g. Playstation 3, Xbox360, Windows Media Player) and find the AMP mediaserver.

Note: If you leave this page the server will shutdown, so make sure you're done sharing before you navigate away. You can, however, change tabs or minimize the window.

Ready to start streaming? Just drop a file into the applet window to get started!

Why is it asking for my permission to run? By default, Java applets run inside a secure sandbox in order to protect the user from potentially harmful code. Unfortunately this prevents us from communicating with the other media devices on your network. The solution is signed code, asking you for permission to run.

Supported formats

Supported file extensions include: AA3, WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, OGA, FLAC, MPEG, MPG, MP1, MPV, AVI, WMV, DVR, MKV, PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF.

Your mileage may vary. No transcoding support. The formats most commonly supported by media clients are WAV, MP3, AVI, and JPG.
