Installation issues / Re: Two NICs, continued

Thanks for clarifying

Would it be worthwhile to turn this over to a Request for Functional enhancement ?
I believe it will be a truely big enhancement that will remove the physical barrieres and hopefully catch a even bigger wave with the LMCE audience and potential users.

Installation issues / Two NICs, continued

« on: August 12, 2008, 09:14:15 pm »

Hi folks
As a newbie, reading thru a lot of prereq's of MCE and especially the core component. I haven't found enough detail yet, on the subject of two nic's, although I understand its some sort of a requirement (at a certain level).
But, is it required that both of these nic's are CAT5/Ethernet wired ?
I have thought of using a spare PC with one builtin ETH nic (for Internal network), and supply a USB WiFi adapter for the External network via my WiFi Access Point (for which I disable DHCP).

Is this below the requirements of the MCE core ?

Thanks

Agree,
Standards, already there should be obeyed if possible and without sacrificing functionality
Have a look at the IPTC standard:
http://www.iptc.org/pages/index.php
which no longer are related to photos-only.
Here you get the framework- and now editors to batch edit metadata is available - and still on top of flat file systems to keep the performance.

Hi,

I'd propose to maybe think about taking some more standard way of metadata (maybe some sort of xml or any other metadata files that are present also in other programs - so users could use also 3rd party programs to edit metadata info)... Id3 files are unique, and there will always be problem either to import files from other systems or exporting them when practically  no system is using such info... Id3 files were probably easiest way to do something in fast way....

HTH,
