Suggestions / Making gmusicbrowser network-aware
September 16, 2010, 12:08:13
I have moved most of my music to a networked server and I'm currently looking for a solution to use gmb from my laptop. I already have an NFS share, but it's not always mounted, so its presence is unreliable. I'm not asking for mpd or mt-daapd support, since I know it would mean an incredible amount of work to fit it in the current structure.

However, it would be nice to able to be able to mark the directories as "networked", so that gmb would show the files inside them only if they are present. Ideally, when the user adds a directory s/he checks a "networked" mark, which enables a drop-down menu containing the system's mountpoints. The user then selects the appropriate one, which is then checked for mounting. Autodetection should also be possible, even though it's not completely trivial.

This however arises the problem of separating the local db from the "mobile" ones... filtering could be done on just a single db, but it probably would come at a performance cost, I don't know...
