Hi all, I have a dream of using some kind of networked hard drive as a media server, so that the family can dump all our DVDs onto the drive and play them from any device on the network. This includes iPhones and Macs, but most of all, the Apple TV 3.
I know the Pi can't run iTunes, so basic Home Sharing is out. Besides, I don't know how we'd configure an account for that and nothing else. Is there a way to do this? Could I have the Pi and its attached drive(s) act as dumb storage, and create an iTunes library on there somehow? If so, how would the TV see it? I feel like this is a question I should be able to figure out, but I can't quite see how the pieces would fit together. I don't even have a Pi yet, just some ideas and a bit of spare cash. This setup is one I've wanted to try for a long time--a couple terabytes of network-accessible storage, holding all our movies, accessible from any device, including the Apple TV. It seems ideal, and reasonably simple, but I can't figure it out. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
