or it could be a network disk as an example.
Advantage: No local hard drive is required
and the data is easily maintained or updated
by a system administrator with access to that
local computer. Depending on the processing
power, several units can access the same
computer.
Disadvantage: Depending on the bandwidth
and the specifications of the computer, this
set up might be limited to 2-3 displays only. If
the computer crashes or the network is
unstable, playback will suffer or not work at
all. Many of the functions and options are only
available with an internal drive.
NOTE:
Data on the shared folder can only be accessed in the
standard play mode via remote control or if the playlist is
enabled.
SMB: The data on the shared folder can be accessed via remote control
and played directly over the network connection. This mode is only
recommended for the standard media player. If an internal drive is
installed, data can be copied from the shared folder to the internal
drive by selecting the file and pressing the SELECT button on the
remote control.
