FirePlay for Windows Home Server is a remote media streaming add-in that allows you to play music through a web browser directly from your home server – whether you’re at home or out and about.

FirePlay for Windows Home Server builds on Bo Mellberg’s original Fireplay flash client, and requires Firefly Media Server to be installed on the home server (the HP MediaSmart Server already has this installed out of the box). The add-in automatically configures your firewall and uPnP router to allow you to access your music through a browser session.

As the client is Flash based, only MP3 files can be streamed – this is a limitation of Flash, unfortunately. As the Fireplay client is developed further, the add-in will continue to support new features.
