Hi there, I just purchaced a brand new squezze box and everything works fine. However there are some really anoing things where I do not know how to solve and I was hoping to get the answer here.
The problem is the place of the music files. Currently I do have my laptop running with slim server and itunes installed. If I shut the notbook down I do not have access to my music files, but I do not want to have my laptop running all time long. As I do not want in any case to place a PC of any kind into my rooms there are 2 solutions which came to my mind: 1. I do have a linux box running 24/7 inside my office so I could install it there. But the problem is, that an static IP costs 15 Euro per month which puts a very high price tag on this solution. As far as I know you can only enter an IP, and not a domain name from example from dnydns.org into the settings? 2. I would by anouth device. A NAS System. Problem here is, that I fear that slimserver would not work with it. I have not found any recommendations inside the guide book which ones work with slimserver and which do not. With both solutions there comes another huge problem. As far as I understand, slimserver does only reference the files but not copy/synchronize theme. So if I put all my music files on the NAS device I do not have my music with me on my laptop, but only at home?! I was hoping that slim server does create a copy on the NAS device so I can always have my music with me when I travel. I could of course just copy the files over, but hey after a few weeks this will be a mess without sync?! Please help. What is the solution how do you guys adress this problem. I am sure I am not the only one out there with this trouble :-) Thank you for any hint, Merlin -- merlin_x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ merlin_x's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5137 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24768 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
