Re: Looking for a NAS
Yeah, I was aware of that but would need to be done on every machine that wants to use the list, plus like I said: not ideal in terms of functionality - more clicking to be done than just navigating to the file manually, so we'll drop the idea.
If I type the address of the music folder in a web browser, I get to see all the stuff that's on it, just like in explorer, so if I open a sound file here, the browser treats it as a stream and seeks instantly. Like we've previously discussed, it takes a while for a local media player to seek deep into a very long track that's on a network share due to speed. As expected though, the browser's player is the bare minimum of a webplayer: just play/pause and a seek bar. Doesn't remember the volume settings, no shortcut keys, no skipping to the next file, none of that. By contrast MPC is a joy to use, but doesn't support streaming....
