Hi all,
I've got my music collection in my studyroom on a harddisk called MP3, driveletter H:.
In the living room, I've got a small PC connected to my television, and that PC is also connected through a home network to my MP3-collection, also as drive H:.
It takes a small amount of time (approx. 1 hour) to scan all my 30.000 MP3's on my fast studyroomPC.
But through the home network connection, it takes my slower livingroomPC about 6 hours to scan those same files.
So I thought: If on both PC's the files are on H:, it should be easy to copy the database (112MB) from my studyroomPC to my livingroomPC.
But... That doesn't seem to work. Mediamonkey seems to make a difference between a local harddrive, and a network drive. I tried to alter the location by accessing the MM-properties for this location on the livingroomPC, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
I know there's a possibility to monitor folders for changes, filemovement, etc. But this also takes the same time at MM startup as a full scan, 6 hrs, and therefor is not the solution to my problem.
PLEASE, can somebody give me the golden tip to use the database from the studyroom in the livingroom, without having to do a 6 hrs scan of the network drive?
I already have a corrected database from the study, so how hard must it be to use it in the living?
Thnx in advance for the answers!
Regards,
Arjan
