Barcoustica sound system represents a modern version of a mobile jukebox made according to a unique principle. It is easy to use and does not require advanced computer knowledge.

This is the first – demo version of the Barcoustica sound system.
Demo V0.0.1.1

The whole system consists of two components: an application running on a computer and an Android mobile application. The Android application communicates with the PC application via a local WiFi network (WiFi router). By starting the mobile application, the Wi-Fi network is scanned for a PC application that expects a connection on the specified port. After the connection is established, the PC application sends all data to the mobile application, from which the sequence of playing songs is further controlled.

• WiFi connection (Local Wireless router)
• Any version of android phone with API level > 26 (Oreo and all newer versions)
• PC or Laptop with Windows or Linux OS preinstalled
• Java runtime (it can be downloaded from here).
• Mac Support will be added very soon.

1. The server application communicates with the Android application via UDP and TCP protocols. When the screen is off, the android application will not receive UDP packets. Therefore, you will not receive information from the server when the phone’s screen is off. This will be fixed in the next version.
2. Adding new features.
3.  Adding an option to choose a color scheme.
4. Porting MP3 Player to Android device. (In Version v0.0.1.1 it runs only on PC/Windows)
5. Building PC app for Linux and Mac OS
6. Porting app for iPHONE devices

Allow the PC application to use the local WiFi network by enabling ports.

1. Depending on the installed antivirus and firewall software, communication should be enabled by opening ports for local communication.
2. PORTS to be opened: 33521(TCP), 34521 (UDP)

Try this: Run command prompt (CMD) as Administrator and paste :

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”NetBIOS UDP Port 34521″ dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=34521
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”NetBIOS UDP Port 34521″ dir=out action=allow protocol=UDP localport=34521

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”NetBIOS TCP Port 33521″ dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=33521
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”NetBIOS TCP Port 33521″ dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=33521

Barcoustica is an application based on the Java programming language. If you do not have Java installed, please install it 

  This is the first demo version of the Barcoustica app and there is no installer for now

1. Download Barcoustica.zip file
2. unzip in folder 
3. double click on Barcoustica.exe
4. allow connection in the firewall
5. Depending on the installed antivirus and firewall software, communication should be enabled by opening ports for local communication.
6. PORTS to be opened: 33521, 33358, 34521, 55556

In order for an android application to receive broadcast messages from the server, both applications must be on the same subdomain.

e.g. 192.168.0.XXX
