Multiple instances of readydlna
Hi, My nas contains media for both me and my kids. All this media is now included in a simple DLNA tree. However, some media is not really child friendly.... (think horror here...... not pron)....
I'm sort of glad to see I'm not the only one having this issue. :)
Like you, my ReadyNAS contains some media that's safe to stream with full access and some that I want to have a bit of access control on. But I can't find a reasonable way to do that. I currently have one share with music and "safe" video, and another share with R-rated video - with the former being set to full read and write access and the latter having stricter user policies. The all-access share is streamed with ReadyDLNA. But I can not find a reasonable way to stream the second share over DLNA.
If ReadyDLNA could run two instances, I could turn one of them on and off as needed. That's slightly more hazzle than I would prefer, but I can live with it. But I can't even do that - ReadyDLNA will only stream one share at the time.
(I also think it's a bit odd that the DLNA is so open. Game consoles and TV decoders have provisions for access control - so it's not like the concept is unknown to manufacturers.)
