Moving local files to SMB share
I was wondering.. it is possible to hava all DBs, artworks and so on on an SMB share instead of the SD card? I mean, transfer rate (in my case at least) is higher via LAN, and in this way I could have multiple XBMC clients reading a common db
(yes, I've seen the link on lifehacker, but it is.. an hack, and involves mainly the "stop watching a movie in a room, continue in another room" scenario... I'm thinking about the fact that thru the interface it seems not to be possible for now..) What do you think about it? Thanks! |

Thanks, I did read the similar post as mentioned in the first post, but this way the artworks will remain local to the machine.. or I did understand it wrong? |

Re: Moving local files to SMB share
you chose the device on the network which than serve the MYSQL database with your library to all the other XBMC machines.
This can be one of the RPi's or any other computer or server, NAS Server,etc. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Sync_multiple_libraries/Setting_up_MySQL#tab=Windows ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

RE: Moving local files to SMB share
You can also put the thumbnails on a samba or nfs share, as long as they mount before xbmc starts.

If I put the entire XBMC folders on a SMB share it should work then, provided there is no concurrent access to the DBs.. what folders then can be SAFELY moved onto a share? Also, I've tried putting an entry in the FSTAB for mounting at boot.. but the syntax seems to be wrong .. anyone managed to do so? Code: //server/share /pathto/mountpoint cifs credentials=/home/xbian/.smbcredentials 0 0 with the smbcredentials being: Code: username=shareuser Thanks! |
