Hey guys i have a problem hoping you guys can tell me the best method here..
Currently i have a 2x HTPCs in the house. Each has local storage of 2x hdds. Its the same content on both machines so works as a backup for me. However they are near full so i think i will connect a NAS.
Problem is 1 of the htpcs is ~10 years old so i want to get rid of it & just use the laptop or a NUC in its place with the nas. While keeping the htpc with local storage in the other room that will also use the nas.
Im trying to figure out the best way to do this. So tell me if this works?
4 bay nas, 2 hdds from the old htpc, but not backed up in the nas, the backups of these are in the other htpc.
2 new drives in the nas, 1 for new content the other a backup of it.
The HTPC will use both the local drives it has now & the new drive on the nas.
The laptop (replacing the old htpc) will play everything from the nas.
I think that will work, however im not sure i can use a centralised MySQL library in Kodi as the source will be different on 2 machines..maybe it will let me though?
Is there a better way to do it?
