Or is there some special feature this is referring to? Or did you mean something other than NFS? I personally use both NFS and a webserver pointing to that same share.Sorry, my bad. I meant to write 'NFS exporting'. I read this web page for this: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=6498
Ah. That's specific to multimedia, not the NFS "share exporting" that we are all used to. And is specific to DVDs, not ripped files.
What you *could* do is *mount* the DVD and then play (via vlc) the mount-point. You'd need "regular NFS".
Ripped movies would work the same way, since you'd be treating the "media system" as a plain old file server, and the "multimedia" work would be done on the client.
