A new feature of hydrogen 0.9.4 is the ability to select your own server for Soundlibrary downloads. The easiest way to distribute your own stuff is to use the php script located at source:trunk/src/www/hydrogen.php. Here is a short howto:

Requirements:

• an installed and configured webserver
• php

Installation:

• Create a directory which is accessible via http, for example: /var/www/hydrogen.
• Copy the stuff you want to share into that directory
• Download this PHP file

Configuration:

If you leave the script unconfigured it will deliver all informations about songs and patterns, but not about your drumkits. The reason is quite simple: The drumkits are compressed and stored in an archive. To avoid uncompressing them with our php-script, the necessary informations are provided in a seperate file, called metaInfo.inc. An example is available here: here

Using your server:

Start hydrogen and select "Instruments->Import Soundlibrary". Choose "Edit server list" and add your server. The entry has to start with " http://" !! For example: http://www.example.org/hydrogen.php

Example of third party servers (add yours):

• https://musical-artifacts.com/hydrogen_drumkits.xml (see http://hydrogen.popez.org/hcms/node/16662 )
• http://www.belofilms.com/H2drumkits/Feeds/BELO-list.xml (see http://www.belofilms.com/?p=319 )
