Patrick, I think he's refering to the advice I offered earlier in this discussion, here:
http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/pipermail/rivendell-dev/2012-February/015173.html Essentially my thoughts surrounded concerns that I would have about network latency, insufficient bandwidth, potential loss of connection between the 2 machines (either unintentional such as hiccups on the internet, traffic suddenly getting rerouted and adding more latency then expected, a mouse chewing through a network cable or power cord for a DSL / cable modem causing an outage, or intentional loss of connectivity such as the campus IT seeing traffic they deem as 'suspect' going through the firewall and deciding to close off the connection, etc - I've experienced all of these types of service interruptions over the years). Reasons why I wouldn't want to try and rely on a setup where the music library / MySQL database was being accessed across the public internet. One other thing to consider that I hadn't thought of when I wrote the original post is potential bandwidth / data caps. I don't know what level of service you have at your mom's house, but I've found that more and more internet providers which are putting bandwidth data caps on their service - no longer offering "unlimited" internet access, but instead offering access where once you've reached a certain amount of bandwidth / data usage, they start charging more per gig used. Especially if your library is uncompressed audio files, I could see bandwidth usage jumping up. Also worth considering - some internet providers throttle (intentionally slow down) internet speeds at certain times of day or if they see data usage spikes. Again this all would depend on the internet provider you've got at your mom's house, but something you might want to look into. For something like Rivendell where if something goes wrong it could potentially end up with dead air I prefer to go on the side of caution, but that's just how I run things. Of course it is entirely up to you how you want to set things up, as long as you recognize the potential pitfalls and make an informed decision then it is just a matter of sorting out the technical side of things.

I have a lot of cuts. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
