( .avi,.mpg,.foo,.bar ) + +What I have think of so far: +- tell XBMC somehow to load all the files (did not work) +- having some kind of (FUSE?) filter, which hides the symlink in a transparent way +- creating via script hard-links in a seperate folder with same structure, mount that. +- using some alternative to NFS ( like ftp, smb ) or a other kind of media-server (server-side) + +any comments, ideas ? +If i find a solution, I'll post it here. + +.ka |
