| Post subject: | Store Files on a Server |
Hi, Im new to mythTV and some what new to linux. But i was wondering if i can change the paths to the video, music, photos... to a Server over a lan? I already have a network setup that stores all the music/videos/photos of all the computers on the network, so it would be great if i could view the contents from mythTV on any of the computers on the lan, and vice versa, listen/watch the content on the server from the mythTV. Is this possible/hard? I think i want the frontend and backend on one computer still though. I want all the encoding and caching not to be done on the server, because i dont want to take cpu from the server. Thanks |

What you want to do is quite easy. From what you've said it sounds like you just need a frontend/backend on 1 PC, seperate from your server & just mount the server shares in the relevant places on the mythtv box. |

Topic has been covered a few times. Assuming storing files on a Windows server seach forum for samba or smbfs for more info. here is a few post talking about same subject. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6646 This is samba setup howto on the wiki http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... SambaHowTo This is autofs setup howto on the wiki (used for reconnecting and keeping connected network mounts at startup) http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... +and+samba If you file server uses NFS I think there is a wiki howto on that or some info in forums too. |

NFS howto. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NFSHowTo What my prefrence is I mount network shares in /mnt/network I use autofs to keep knoppmyth connected to samba shares(may not be needed with NFS) Then create a symlink to my shares in the appropiate /myth directory i.e. Code: ln -s /mnt/network/videoshare /myth/video/network
ln -s /mnt/network/musicshare /myth/music/network This gives me the best of both worlds, I can use my internal myth hdd for ripping/TV recording and use my server for larger media storage browsing in directory tree. |
