Credentials for shares, not global (1 Viewer)

[Helios61]

Hi,
already reported in german forum. I've stored my mediafiles on two different servers with different credentials. So it is impossible to add both shares to MP2. Is it possible to add the feature "credentials for shares" to MP2. It would be great.
Best regards
Helios

Indeed an important feature. It is prepared in background already, only the configuration is missing

Indeed an important feature.

Any news on this issue?

Is it implemented?

IIRC unfortunately it isn't yet.

7 month later and stating, that it is an important feature, which is already started...

Please feel free to help with coding
The dev team for MP2 is only a handful of people who do it in their spare time besides their families and jobs.

I'm aware of that and coding is not the issue. I see the problem in missing feedback and partly ignoring questions. The community is only active, if the Devs reply and share details. I do not mean writing long stories, but one sentence "Not yet done due to time constraints, but on the list" is enough. I asked, because I thought the feature might be from the list after 7 month.

When and where have we ignored your questions?

Things that are important for you are not as important for others and vice versa. In other words, making one person happy will keep many others unhappy. If you've followed the development in the feature request section you may have noticed that many entries turned green.

coding is not the issue

Yes, it is. We simply don't have enough ressources to get everything done. I won't repeat the usual arguments (open source, free time, etc.), but we are depending on people to support the project. Everybody is invited to contribute, be it coding or writing Wiki entries. Especially the latter is something that everybody can do, yet nobody does.

Lastly, what is the fundamental issue in creating the same single media user on all your shares as a work-around to allow access?
