Is there some documentation as to how the directory structure under /var/lib/myth* is supposed to be setup such that these things would be clearer?<br><br>-Jared<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/19/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br><br>TV Recordings are managed by the backend, but movies and music are<br>front-end plugins. To make them share across all machines, you have<br>to set up shares on your drive. You can use Samba or NFS to share the<br>
directories from your backend and mount them to the same path on your<br>frontend so the same paths work on all of your machines. I found NFS<br>easy and the defaults gave me good throughput.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
