![]() Of course SMB isn't perfect either since it has caused a few issues for me regarding case sensitivity. Most songs (and some days, all songs) skip after playing for 2-5 seconds, but with SMB, they play just fine. How are you sharing it out? SMB, NFS, or AFP? I have issues with using NFS. This probably won't solve your problem, but Wi-Fi sync should!Ī question for people who are running iTunes on their unRAID. With this setup, I can sync my iPod and iPhone with any of the 3 computers whenever iTunes is open on those computers. Only one iTunes program on any given computer runs at a time to ensure the library isn't opened multiple times. I have my entire iTunes collection AND library on my unRAID server with potentially 3 computers set up to read from it through either an alias or sym link. #Firefly itunes media server mac#The iPod, iPhone, whatever is synced to a certain library, and the machine doing the syncing needs to be the one directly reading from and to that library (your Mac Mini). ![]() How does syncing work? Can a 'remote' mac/PC sync with an iPod just as though it was connected to the mini? With wifi sync coming up I think this setup would also be useful as then the iPods can be syncing when charging without worrying about whether the laptop is on at the same time - you really need a 24/7 machine. But I would want iOS downloads/podcasts to be saved to the unRAID automatically if possible. ![]() If necessary I don't mind rejigging my folder structure on the unRAID, and I don't mind if iTunes uses some space in the music folder for iOS apps or podcast downloads. iTunes seems to only want to be told one folder where everything is. My potential problem is I have multiple folders - 'music', 'TV', 'movies', and 'media' (which has backups of my iOS apps). I have a mac mini on 24/7 and was thinking to have the iTunes library on here - pointing to the unRAID for files, and then using home sharing so other macs/PCs in the house can see that mini's library. This is what I'm trying to achieve but am getting confused. ITunes can still suck it though, wish there was a way to sync my iPhone without it. I'm not storing the Library on the share, but I am using Home Sharing in iTunes to let the other computers in the house see the music. ![]() Now I'm just running my launch script, with iTunes gathering its music off shares. I've tried running my music library from a music server on another Linux machine, but with over 250Gb of music it took roughly 5 minutes to get into the Library. ![]()
