Can someone confirm for me if I have this correct or not? I apologize for being flaky but I've just spent two very frustrating days first rebuilding a raid array and then trying to get a clean W7 install on one of the machines and my brain is fried and I can no longer remember what I have an have not tried in XBMC.
If I want to setup a multi-room environment, is this the proper way to do it:
Do I have this correct? I got music working yesterday but I did it wrong so I want to make sure I have the correct technique so I can redo it correctly
thanks in advance, i feel like i'm in the home stretch
If I want to setup a multi-room environment, is this the proper way to do it:
- Define the folder(s) containing the content on the primary machine (e.g. C:\libraries might contain folders like \music, \videos, \pictures, etc)
- Map as network drive, even on the primary machine (so for example I setup drive X: to actually point to C:\libraries)
- Share this network drive with the entire network and make sure its accessible by all machines on it? I have my machines in a HomeGroup where they can each access this location
- In XBMC add each library source for music, videos, etc by selecting SMB source and then pointing it to the X: share
