If this has been discussed, or is obvious in the forum, please pardon me. my searches didn't turn anything up.
On my Windows installations of XBMC I've been able to map network drives to a networked machine with large amounts of storage, adding said source to XBMC, and pulling those movies / muzak, etc. into the library. All works as expected there.
I'm now in the process of setting up a couple of Raspberry Pi's for other TV's in the house and would like to do the same. Rather than have a HDD local to the Pi in each room, my preference would be to pull all the media from a central machine over wifi.
Can someone kindly point me to a tutorial (if one exists) or a guide on how to accomplish this on the Pi. I'm running Raspbmc on my Pi, and would like to keep my media on a Windows based machine, rather than Linux if possible.
I appreciate any feedback and guidance.
Cheers-
