Run NMT Apps Off NAS

[DonMuraco]

Howdy,

Is anyone currently running NMT apps off a file share off their NAS?

I've tried to make this work by reading a bunch of threads/Wikis but I'm getting stuck at certain points.

Wondering if anyone is currently doing this so I can bug ya with some questions regarding how you were able to set it up.

Thanks.

Why would you want to do this? The NMT apps are supposed to be installed on a local internal/external drive. Even if you managed to install them on a NAS I doubt the PCH would be able to access them from the NAS.

I ultimately don't need the drives other than the apps. They can be a bit noisy and hot at times.

There's the USB alternative method and the NFS Share alternative method as per the NMTWiki.

I believe the latter will allow me to run off a NAS which is what I'm trying to accomplish (if possible).

[Pernod]

If you succeeded with the NAS install, wouldn't there be further complications if for whatever reason the NAS was offline/unreachable?

You don't say which PCH you have but would be far simpler to install apps on a cheap 4GB USB stick and plug it into a rear USB port out of the way.

Which apps are you trying to keep??? This thread seems very strange as nas's generally can run a whole lot, updated and run them better.. There's really nothing on the pch you can't just find or find better options for a nas.

I ultimately just need myiHome for one of the Jukeboxes I'm using.

I'm using both an A100 and an A110.

Can you use USB for the 100 series? Dont think you can.

You would be best with a SATA>CF card for silent operation.

I don't know much about myihome, but it would help to know the make and model of the nas.

What jukebox software?? myihome is just a slightly enhanced http streaming server.. you may not need it at all depending on the software.

Music Jukebox Release 8.2 - needs myihome for playlists and shuffle

I don't know much about it or if this is the only way to do this.. hopefully someone will be by to get into a more specific discussion about options with that nas and the 100. only thing I can think of is post in the jukebox thread about what your trying to do and get more experts with it to chime in.

Thanks all who've responded. I'll investigate options further in other threads.
