How to use remote_media

[Baggypants]

Hi, I'm trying to set up my private server to use remote_media, I tried asking in the server forum but no one responded so I'm thinking this might be the better place for it. I'm using 0.4.10

in my conf I have a line

remote_media = http://172.16.0.217/minetestmedia/

(accessible only in my lan)

and in the minetestmedia folder I have a bunch of files generated by the script from here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9260&hilit=remote_media

The media is accessible, I can browse to it using firefox.
however the client isn't touching the remote_media server, not even to check if there is any media there, I'm running a tail on my apache server and it's not showing a single connect. It's like the server isn't telling the client where to get the media.

Have I missed something obvious?

Your earlier post wasn't unseen. Just haven't messed with remote media yet myself. I do remember seeing VanessaE explaining in great detail to another person how to do it. Not sure if it was on the forum or on IRC.
Maybe she will notice your thread(s).

Edit: Your username cracks me up :P
