For a drive plugged in, using /storage and having LMS setup for that by default I think is a good "you don't do any setup". Of course if people plug in a drive with music already on it they can configure LMS to point to wherever the music is. For remote shares I think the best way to do it would be a "list all shares" button which goes out and finds CIFS and NFS shares on the local network and lets the user choose which one. That would handle most of the people that want to use a NAS. For people that want to use multiple shares or combination of share and local etc you could probably leave that to editing a file etc. For my own personal use I have a remote server and will continue to use that. Occasionally CSOS might get used with a local LMS, either with a local drive (taking it with me on vacation) or via a share (when testing out weird things and just want to connect to the existing network share) John S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
