Get video files on another server to play with FMIS/FMS 3.5

Hi!

We have our video source files on another server than the FMS installation. Can I get FMS connect to this server and play these files? How do I proceed to accomplish this?

Thanks

    To do this, you would configure virtual directories in your Application.xml file.

    Is the other server in the same local network as the FMS server? If so, you can configure the storage drive on the other server as a network share, and have FMS read from that network share.

    I haven't dealt with storage on remote networks, but if that's your case, I -think- you can write a C++ file plugin to bring the file in, although that would be sort of wasteful when it comes to network resources in a lot of use cases. You'd likely be better off copying the remote files to a location in the FMS local network.

    Thanks,

    I found out how to do this in the fms.ini file, but can I have 2 or more locations for applications, media, live, vod etc.

    I.e. one on a share and one on the server installation?

    Thanks
