I agree entirely that Samba is in no way a backup option whereas rsync definitely is but that's not primarily what people are asking for and in that respect they are correct in saying that on this point, and as far as I can tell only this point, max2play better meets people's needs for LMS. PCP is by far the better option IMHO as a player and I was pleased that you added LMS. As I said it doesn't matter to me as my music files are on a NAS (actually 3 replicated NASs) and staying there but I do access the shares directly via Windows when I am ripping or tagging and that's the bit people want if I read the situation correctly. I do appreciate the need to keep PCP lean so suggest you make Samba entirely optional but easy for those who have never heard of smb.conf *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
