Hello, I am looking for a setup to play movies and music and to browse photos over my local home network (mostly Debian, one Ubuntu machine, sometimes a Windows machine on the wireless network). How do I start doing that? My objective is to have all multimedia on one disk connected to a machine (USB, firewire or SATA, not fixed yet).
>From a little search, I have seen somebody mention NFS for which I apparently need 2.6.27 kernel (not in Testing yet, so that option is out). The other option seems to be to stream video -- is this really necessary in this situation? And it won't help much with photo browsing anyway. Mostly I connect between different machine via SSH. So I can open an X display. That gives the video but no sound on my local machine. I have also samba setup on one machine which at present mounts a disk which has songs and photos on it. However, I haven't yet found a way to play the songs over samba. Also, by favorite photo browser is gqview but it also doesn't appear to understand samba. Thanks in advance for inputs on this.
