Dan has said this will be doable in SlimServer 6.5, where the scanner is a program separate from SlimServer itself. If given access to the music files, the database, and the SlimServer preferences, it can run on another machine.
Keep in mind, though, that the music files will have to be pulled across the network by the scanner. A scan running locally on a slower machine in which the music drives are mounted may end up being quicker due to faster file access. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24523 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
