Multiple PC's managing a single library
« on: March 17, 2022, 08:52:57 pm »

What are the recommended settings for running one library from multiple PC's with identical playlists. Not all PC's are running at the same time. How can I keep them in sync and have updated playlists on all PC's whenever powered up.
Can the library be stored on a NAS?

The wiki has a topic called Media Network.

One machine serves the files.  It can import them from a NAS.

The others connect to it to play files.

If I make changes to playlists on one machine, how do I see that on another machine the next day if the machine where the changes were made is not running?

Yes, if authentication is enabled on the server.
