I can suggest two options for handling your WAF requirement: 1) A special tag for your wife's music. You would need to use a tagging program to apply this tag to all her music. When your wife starts Kinsky, she would get a top-level menu containing all available music. One of the selections on this menu would take her to her own music. After that, she would see only her music and she could browse it and play it without seeing anything else. 2) A separate MinimServer instance and content directory for your wife's music. You would need to structure your music library into a top-level directory (folder) for your wife's music and a top-level directory for all other music. The MinimServer instance "Mr.Bear's Music" would be set up to use both content directories, and the MinimServer instance "Mrs.Bear's Music" would be set up to use just your wife's content directory. Nerither of these options would require songs to be duplicated. Option 2) is probably slightly better because your wife could have different configuration options for how songs are indexed and sorted, etc. A slight problem with option 2) is that the current MinimServer installation package for QNAP doesn't support doing this. MinimServer can do it, but the installation package isn't set up for it. This enhancement is on my "to do" list, and I should be able to implement it fairly quickly if this is the approach you decide you would like to use. Option 1) is fully supported by MinimServer, and you could use it now with the current release. As an interim step towards option 2) until it's fully supported, you could run Twonky on the QNAP for your wife to use (with her content directory), and you could run MinimServer on the QNAP to use yourself (with both content directories). It won't cause any problems to run both Twonky and MinimServer on the same QNAP NAS. I will be interested to hear your thoughts on these options. |
