is UMS to UMS possible?

[Nanocore]

I am running UMS in the house and a friend has UMS running at his house. He happens to have a lot more content then I do and I would like to hook up my UMS to his UMS. My DLNA clients would then connect to my UMS like normal and my friends UMS would show up with his directory of content on my UMS. Is this possible?

you would have to setup a VPN tunnel from house to house for that to be possible... and even then.. you would still run each others UMS, and just select the one you want form...

the CLEAN AND OBVIOUS downfall is... VPN traffic is SLOOOOWWW... many reason why this is.. but the simplest is that data has to travel across the internet to get to you.

In the sleeping SHB I had a function that allows DLNA clients to connect (via the local media server) to remote media servers. Maybe we should resurrect this function from the dead?

Why not, Sharkhunter if you've done it before hopefully it would be easy to add back in

Yes, this sounds exactly like what I was looking for.

Oki this can be tested using this branch from UMS.

It requires some advanced setup (see bottom of the PR) but it should work.
