Hi,
New user of Volumio. currently using the free version but might move to a paid for platform, although the free version does a lot of what I want anyway.
The setup is currently one PC with Volumio installed, although I am going to add a second very shotly. They will pull from a server via SMB protocol. The library is currently set up as a folder within the server.
What I would like to do is have different people have an account on the streamer and have their account use the SMB protocol to pull a library from different folders:
Person A pulls from Server\folder A
Person B pulls from Server\folder B
I have searched but might be missing something.
Is it possible to set up accounts on Volumio? I don’t care about passwords. If so, can these then pull from different folders?
My idea is that different people want access to different music. I do have plenty of space on the server so don’t care if I have duplicates of music in multiple folders. Not everyone who might access Volumio is technically advanced so not having access to all the music (but only the stuff they want) will keep things simpler.
If the options is not given then I will probably fall back on using playlists, I am trying to get away from having to say to people that they need to go into the playlists, and advise how to add to playlists if I can though.
None of us really use streaming platforms. I do have access to Amazon Music, and I think one other person does. I know Volumio doesn’t really do Amazon Music streaming and I am not bothered. None of us have Tidal/Spotify. For me, I am old school and like my music stored locally.
