Steve247 - I’ve never tried. It’s just a Linux box with an attached hard drive and a network port running some media server software so I figure it should be accessible from the net. You would need to punch a hole in your firewall and make sure the routing is set up to access the device but it should work just fine.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to access this drive remotely. Have you had any luck trying to ftp or http to the drive over the ‘net?

Thanks,
Steve

Comment on LaCie Ethernet Disk and Firefly Media Server by Greg

Yes, I was running 1.1.2.1 when I applied the fix. And yes, it does work to allow the Lacie Ethernet drive media server to properly index the media files so that iTunes can see them all. I use it on a daily basis and haven’t had any problems with the media server. It sounds to me like it could possibly fix your problem.

The continuing problems I’ve had are…
The name of the edmini device seems to randomly change in iTunes. Also, it changes at different times/places and to different values depending on if you’re running iTunes from a Mac or PC.

Album artwork doesn’t work at all. I love the “album browser” mode in iTunes. It’s basically worthless when browsing the edmini because there is no concept of album artwork to display.

Playlists. Just forget about those. I can play all the edmini music I want but can’t create playlists or add any songs to local playlists. It makes it very difficult to manage the vast amount of music you can store on the media server.

A few weeks ago I also bought a “EDmini 320Gb” her in Holland. I didn’t new about the feature to use it as mediaserver but when I tried, I’d liked it very.
I updated the firmware at first use to v1.1.2.1 from here;

After changing the shares and the folder with music the media server did not stream the files anymore to my iTunes on my Mac. That’s how I found some webpages like this. I also found the fix but haven’t tried yet.
Were you running the 1.1.2.1 before using the fix?
Does it still work?
