<br> On the same topic, I haven't tried it, but would it be possible to<br>read such a directory from another machine (eg. nfs mounted) and play<br>it on the front end ? Will network data transfer on a unburdened local
<br>net be fast enough to supply data for the player ?<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Yes, it's what I use at the moment. Wifi access is flaky to non-existent, so investing in a Homeplug powerline adapter was one of the best things I did for my frontend. The frontend automounts an NFS share over the network and uses this to show videos/recordings etc. Not actual VIDEO_TS files (they come from my ntfs-3g external drive), but the concept is surely the same with vlc.
