Hi,
Currently I am running a Windows 10 machine as a TV server (MediaPortal) and serving all my stored content.
I am exploring the possible advantages of switching to TVHeadEnd on a LibreElec Linux system using the same hardware. TV tuner compatibility is not an issue. The system drive will be a small SSD, so I will need to use conventional hard drives for timeshifting and recording. The computer has two large hard drives installed internally.
So, currently, all of my shares are SMB. My main office PC is a Windows machine, and I use file sync software to manage all my media and backups. Windows 10 Pro doesn't have NFS support.
Rather than trying to get all of my questions in up front, perhaps it is easier to ask one thing at a time.
So, first question. If I set up the computer running LibreElec, how easy is it to configure an internal SATA3 hard drive with the correct folders, and share them using NFS (for Kodi) and also with SMB so I can connect to them from Windows?
In terms of my knowledge and experience, I have no problem with connecting to the system with SSH and using a command line. I just have limited experience with Unix filesystems and how drives are mapped.
Thanks in advance.
