[QUOTE="Pringle9984, post: 162339, member: 53005"] I have all *my* media hosted on my Ubuntu desktop; but it's a communal media center and each person keeps their media on their own PC, plus if people visit they may have their media on their laptop or on a portable drive, etc. It's not a major issue really, it's just that with XBMC all someone had to do was connect to the network and their media could immediately be accessed; if they brought a drive over I'd just plug it into a PC and share it (rather than plug it in, share it, go to the media center and change some settings to add the share which I'd then have to remove again later). It was nice and convenient. It was a really nice feature of XBMC which I've not seen in any other media center - like I said though, not really a big issue, just something that would have been nice.
