I have done some changes in the tags of media files and they are synchronized with the server, when I do this via "Sync Changes with the Library Server". However, when I add a new/modified cover to the file on the client side, it seems the changes are not accepted. Nor do I see them on the client and not on the server. It even seems the initial cover disappeared on the server.
Can anyone explain how to do this the correct way? Or is not possible what I'm trying to do?
Basically if you have the autosync option on, this happens "periodically" to not swamp the network probably. If you are doing a lot of tagging, you should manually sync pretty often. I have found the server could even overwrite your tags in process (sometimes I turn the autosync off btw). Auto-sync is not done in real time in any case.
There are a few things you can't do from a client: rip; backup and restore; rename, move files from library tools (well that depends, but on my set-up I can't), importing new media and ... which effects what you are doing ... modify or add cover art. The best way I have found is to install
Teamviewer on both client and server PCs -- its incredibly easy to use out of the box (and its free for personal use). and just remotely do these operations like your artwork from the client PC but working directly on the server PC.
If you have Windows Pro or enterprise you can use Remote Desktop but I find this really slow and not as easy to set up if you aren't use to it.
I hardly do any admin on the server PC anymore except if I have a lot of ripping to do. You can even rip on your client and use the file transfer option, then import without leaving teamviewer -- its seems faster than copying over the network in windows, but not sure how it could be.
