The LinuxMCE Admin web site is used to setup and configure your LinuxMCE system. It also allows you to do a lot of other tasks, such as to check your voice-mail, organize your media, etc. The web site runs on the LinuxMCE Core. You can access it from the Core web browser, or from any other computer connected to the network.

Access to the LinuxMCE Admin Website

From within your home

You can access the LinuxMCE Admin website from any web browser (Mozilla Firefox, IE, Safari):

  • In the browser address bar, type the URL http://<core_ip>/pluto-admin.
    • From within the "internal" LinuxMCE LAN, for example:
http://192.168.80.1/pluto-admin
(This assumes the IP address range set by default at installation.)
  • From the "external" home LAN, the core_ip would be the LAN IP address of the core. If, for example, the core is at 192.168.0.50 on the home LAN, use:
http://192.168.0.50/pluto-admin
  • You can also use the network name of the Core in place of the IP address. For example, if the Core was named "dcerouter" during the default installation, you could use:
http://dcerouter/pluto-admin

From the Internet

You could use the IP address:port for your home LAN, with port forwarding to the Core's LAN IP address (enabled by your home LAN router).

  • This is an advanced topic and may not be fully implemented or secure in the current version..

By default, the LinuxMCE Admin web site is not accessible outside your home. This makes the system secure, but it prevents you from accessing the web site via the Internet while away from home. You can turn on Internet access, allowing access to the admin website anywhere. For your own security, however, we recommend you first read about Security & Privacy Issues.

Login page

  • The login page should be displayed. Input an existing user name and password, then click "Login".
