Subject: shares and streaming
Would it be possible to have it fallback to streaming the video from the backend if the file is not found in the listed samba share?
Also, would be nice if I could just specify a local directory.
I have some recording that I know will likely only be played on a specific computer. My idea was to create a folder on that computer and share it, then mount it on the backend and set it up as a storage group. Then when I have something I know will only be viewed on that computer I can copy it over so that when it is viewed it doesn't need to be streamed over the network.
This almost works. I setup a folder called "store", mounted it on the backend and created a storage group.
I then moved a recording to it. I was still able to view it on all frontends/mythtvplayer.
Next, I set "open recordings from windows share" and set the share as //127.0.0.1/store.
I went to play the recording and it worked great with no network activity.
However, when I went to play something else it just said file not found
.
So yeah, it almost worked ... just falling back to streaming from the backend if it doesn't find the file would fix it.
