* Is LMS able/designed to manage this amount of media files at all? - I don't see why not * Is it feasable to have LMS operaing on a read-only NFS mount (across Gigabit Ethernet) instead of local files? - YES * LMS appears to scan the media file tags only. Is there a possibility of instructing the scanner to derive performer, album & track names from file names and paths instead? - NO * LMS displays paginated lists in the Web UI. For long lists (~15000 entries), this is a royal pain in the behind. Are there any UI updates that improve/fix this? - You can try Material Skin but otherwise no. * Playlist management: Do I see it correctly that playlists can be externally written to some playlist folder that is configurable in LMS, but each change requires a subsequent rescan of this playlist folder? Is there no easy way/interface for writing the changes directly to the corresponding SQLite DB (library.db, if I see it correctly)? - You can create and manage playlists from within LMS or externally. If you do it within then changes are immediate as far as usage is concerned but playlists will still be rescanned in the same way that music files are VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 -> Celestion F20s *Office* - Pi3+Sreen -> Sony TAFE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi2+DAC & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - Pi2+DAC ->ToppingTP21 ->AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - SB Touch ->Sherwood AVR ->Mordaunt Short M10s Everything controlled by iPeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112059 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
