add mysql & smb support #107

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
just as the title says:(please excuse me if any of these features already exist)
add ability to read library from mysql DB, and add ability to use smb shares.
this would add the ability to sync and use the rom library across a home 
network(or at least across the same platform clients on said network..)
my idea is that it could work much like using mysql for the music and video 
libraries.

just an idea.. I know how much coding is involved, so i understand if this 
doesn't make it!!

I guess mysql would really be a bit too much work. So I don't think I can do 
this atm. Maybe when I rework the data layer one day (what I have in mind), I 
can add easier ways to support different databases. But current implementation 
does not allow me to do it easily.

Smb is already working. You just can't use smb:// address syntax. You can 
create network drives (windows) or links (linux) to access smb shares.

You could possible put the db file / folder in a central location on your 
network and then create a link to the folder on each system to use

smb support (with smb:// path) was added some releases ago. mysql support is 
merged with issue 131.
