Library Server serves only the LIBRARY and not the media? [SOLVED]

<shrug> I have no idea what you mean.  But that's fine.  Good luck with your project.

One more try with this example ...  :)

For my gaming rig I use a 6-core i7 and a fancy Radeon video card.  For a file server I use a low power Pentium and onboard video.

Ahh, also, autocorrect turned "fanless" into fabless.

BTW, I still have an open question as to how to have clients that are using the Library Server actually read the files from the file server ... ?

mattkhan:
Your open question has been answered so perhaps you can clarify what isn't clear to you then someone can explain

re the "read direct from the NAS", if no transcoding is involved then it's really a question of bandwidth IMV. If you push all content down the NAS - server - client path then NAS - server is a potential bottleneck (and could also theoretically have an impact on the server). I would have thought this isn't going to be an issue in any decent home network though, unless perhaps you have *alot* of clients and/or a really weak server. Personally I just go with a fat pipe between the NAS the server but then that's mostly because my secondary clients are predominantly linux so I have no choice in the matter.

pepar:
Thanks, all.  I got back from a trip, set up automount of the share identically on the client as it is on the Library Server and made the MC setting change recommended.  I have edited the thread subject and added [SOLVED].
