[mythtv-users] How do you point to a remote folder

[Anthony Rooney]

Raymond

What syntax do you use to point to a location on another network PC with
Myth Video?

For example if I had video files stored on another PC on my LAN named
Capture in a folder named Movies how do I define this in Myth Video?

In Windows you uses the syntax \\Server Name \ Share Name which would be in
the example above: \\Capture\Movies which would included this as a search
DIRECTORY.

How do you point to a remote folder in Myth Video?


Many Thanks



Anthony

With storage groups in MythVideo and recordings, you can define storage on
multiple backends, and MythTV will seamlessly mix them together and stream
them to any frontend.  MythMusic has not yet been migrated over to using
them, and still relies on local storage.  You will have to mount each share
in the same place on each frontend.

If you have a Linux box running as an always-on backend, why not take
advantage of it?  Move all your music to one central location, and share it
out to your PCs from there.  Seems like the most logical setup to me whether
using MythTV or any other media center application.  Having content
scattered all across your network just seems like a messy configuration.
