Hey guys,
Starting to plan my next setup. Will only happen in a year or so, but I'll be fairly busy on course during that time.
Basically, I'd like to run a file server that will also serve as a MKV-making machine, on which I'd have XBMC (I'm hoping that by that time, the PVR client will also be ready) and all of its database. This computer would be in my office/studio.
Then, I'd have a full HTPC/gaming rig in the theater room, and either media players or mini-ITX PCs (probably running Linux) in the living room and the bedroom, all three streaming media from the file server.
My question is : Is it possible to have the streaming machines use the database on the file server?
Thanks!
