Adding Music and Pictures through a Network Share.
Music and pictures can be added to the server manually through a network share.
This is the only way to add pictures to the server.
Music can also be added several other ways such as the Mirage Media Sync Tool or through a NAS drive, but both of these will reflect any changes made in those directories on the server. This method would be useful to a user who would like to add specific media to the server without having to maintain a directory containing the media.
Music or Pictures will remain in these directories and can be accessed or deleted at any time.
To access these shares from Windows
Open My Computer
In the address bar, enter \\192.168.1.214 where you replace that IP address with that of your server (you can also use the name of the server, i.e. \\MIRAGE-1 or \\MMS-2)
Open either the Pictures or Music share.
Copy the content of your choice to the appropriate share as you would any other file.
To access these shares for Macintosh
From Finder, open the Go menu
Select Connect to Server....
In the server address field, enter smb://192.168.1.214 where you replace that IP address with that of your server. You can use a name as with the Windows instructions, but I do recommend using the IP from Apple devices, as they seem to have some difficulty handling local DNS resolution
If prompted for credentials, please select the Guest option
Select the share you would like, and copy the content of your choice to the appropriate share as you would any other file.
