NAS vs desktop
« on: February 08, 2025, 02:41:08 pm »

Hello,

Apologize if this has been covered. I'm currently running Media Center on a Mac Pro. However, I mostly use laptops to play music and I cannot move files and organize the library remotely, receiving the error "This tool is not available when connected to a server."

I'm looking into investing in a NAS connected to the router to decrease latency and not have to be running a desktop as server. Will all computers connected to the NAS have permission to make changes to manage the library or will there need to be a Host? Seems like the Raspberry Pi option outlined on the wiki is nearly a decade old. What's the latest way to run this efficiently?

Many thanks

Are you using media server? You need to set authentication on the server.  Login and password. Otherwise you can't change the server's library.
