Greetings,
Here is my scenario:
I have a primary server with Media Center on it being controlled by MainLobby/MusicLobby tablets throughout the house for distributed audio.
All audio files are on a shared NAS array
Making playlists from the tablets is not simple
Going down to the server room to make playlists is simply not practical
So, I want to be able to make a playlist from the office PC and save it to the primary server so it automatically shows up on the MusicLobby tablets. I've tried variations of LibraryServer/Client and these don't seem to solve the problem at all. In a library server/client config I made a playlists on the client and exported it to a shared "playlists" folder that the server monitors. There are several problems with this latter setup
Autoimport does not seem to be automatically picking up the playlists
When a playlist created by an client is imported manually at the server side it duplicates the song entries in the master library...thereby corrupting it. I don't want duplicate songs...just the friggin playlist of what songs to play.
It can't be this difficult can it? How is everyone else sharing playlists across their networks?
