videoplaylists?

  • I've been wondering if there is a way to aggregate all of the movies that are distributed on various PCs throughout my network. I have my movies, my kids have theirs, some more reside on a NAS. I'm not too keen on getting any one device that could handle all of the files, but it sucks having to know which movie is where.

    When I was looking at the Add New Share for UPnP, I noticed (for the first time, not sure how long it's been there) Video Playlists, aka special://videoplaylists

    Would that do what I want? Or is that just a way to get a sequence of videos to play? I've searched the wiki and forums and haven't found anything.

    Alternatively, if I setup a UPnP server like MediaHome, could I share network shares from other PCs and get it to work that way?


  • Just add all the sources of movies as paths in one source. That way they all appear under the same source.

    Wow! Just tried that and, of course, it works!

    I had no idea that was possible :rolleyes:

    Thanks!

    Alternatively, set it all up using the video library.

    And yes, assuming the UPnP server you choose will share all the files you want, that is another option.
