Thanks for the reply.
I've tried scanning the media server files into my library but it seems like it never completes the scan properly, whether it's network interruptions or just too much for MM to handle over the network. Mind you, there are 75K files. Which reminds me, MM often crashes when adding media to a media device like a USB drive. It makes it through a % and then crashes or just gets stuck.
Anyway, it'd be great if MM implemented the Play Now feature for directories on a media server. It'd also be great if they had a shortcut feature to go immediately to the preferred directory on the media server.
As there are clearly issues with 3 major parts of MM -- media server, playlists, media device syncing -- I think I'll go on the hunt for better software.
If I end up coming back to MM, I may try duplicating my library locally and on the media server and use file duplication/sync software, and have two separate databases. This isn't ideal. I've tried the NAS drive method where you point to the same database on both PCs but had major issues with this.
