Hi,
I have a small question, here's the set up.
Xbmc 11 on a revo,
win 7,
USB drives as storage.
Xbmc on the revo has these drives added sources as they are connected directly to this machine.
Everything works perfectly and as expected.
Bedroom,
laptop,
win xp,
Xbmc 11
No sources...
Can I point xbmc from the bed room to xbmc in the living room and allow the bedroom xbmc to access the sources that the living room xbmc has attached to it without setting up seperate shares etc?
Basically, allowing the bedroom xbmc to access these sources via the living rooms xbmc install. But can this be done without disrupting the xbmc in the living room so that I can still watch a movie, while the kids watch a cartoon.
Or am I required to set up shares, access, rights etc...
So basically,
Can I use a xbmc box with usb drives attached as my main server and then, use remote clients from around the house (laptops with xbmc) so view the living rooms database, soruces etc and then view these movies just by pointing those client installs to the living rooms install?
Air view works in a similar way, you add the server, add what drives you want to access around the house, then load up the air view client and it connects and let's you view these drives and you can then stream movies etc. no shares, rights, no grief
Can/will xbmc allow me to do something similar?
Thanks in advance.
