new setup across vlans/subnets

[simbun]

Connecting Volumio to an NFS share on my Pi worked first time (once I'd finally realised that I'd set it up initially with access to just my PC!). Volumio also connects readonly to the share so that's fine.

Apart from the fact that you only get Artists, Albums and Genres it's actually better than I thought it'd be.
You have the ability to view by AlbumArtist OR Artist, which for me would be fine (as I use AlbumArtist 95% of the time) but would be a pain otherwise, but it does allow you to search for Artist if choosing to view by
AlbumArtist which is good.
It seems to pick up multiple Genre's too which is good.
It was painfully slow to index though, so it needs to be wired.

Playlists are stored on the device under /data/playlist although I think they're stored in the cloud if you have an account and I guess are shared between instances. It does look like it's in Volumios own format (so it can include songs in online services) though which is going to add some complexity (someone wrote a script in this post to convert them!)

Having said all that I think my expectations were really low as there are so many devices out there that have awful tagging support e.g. Sonos.

I think once you've gone MinimServer though, you won't go back :-)
