Morning,
As I slowly work thru my revamp of our MC listening environment here - it donned on me that this whole "server" vibe in MC is not consistent at all in it's actual labeling/naming.
Under Options...It's labelled "Media Network" - as in "Use Media Network To Share this library....etc etc)
Then I see Client Options: When connected to a "Library Server"
Then I right click on the icon in my tray - and it says "Media Server"
Then out on the WIKI (
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Servers) I see this:
"Library Server, formerly called Media Server, can serve a media collection on one PC, so it can be played with another copy of MC on another PC anywhere on the Internet. "
So which is it?
Library Server? Media Server? Media Network?
I will assume that as of v18 - it's Library Server. So it would be nice if the entire interface (and anywhere this can be selected) like Tools-Options-Startup->Windows Startup
was consistent with it's naming conventions...
Run on Windows startup:
Nothing: default
Media Center: Start Media Center only whenever Windows starts.
Library Server: Starts the
Library Server only, which runs in the background and allows to share music, etc. over a network.
Media Center and
Library ServerApologies if I am not reading this right - but these numerous (and presumably outdated UI labels) are making this more confusing than it should be.
Cheers,
VP
It would be a lot easier for those of us trying to navigate this stuff - if we knew exactly what something is called
