[QUOTE="jimekus, post: 1284949, member: 126992"] Hi, I'm investigating how to get a failover command developed. Such as : FAILOVER <\\server\sharedfolders\SD02 | local HDD j:\SD02> TO <local HDD j:\SD02 | \\server\sharedfolders\SD02|> My local need on different PCs doesn't have to have high availability and I don't mind knowing I have to run a batch file to trip a redirection on/off switch. Remember I can't use drive addresses to work around my large number of \\Ryzen lan folders. The actual problem I'm encountering is not knowing what to call this lack of an obvious use-case for a missing Lan folder redirection facility. It is the only thing stopping me using MediaPortal to play local files when the \\Ryzen tower backup is hibernated. Now I only use MediaPortal locally as a reference database and the offline files are shown in red or getting subtitles, trailers and stuff. The fact that MediaPortal catalogs my large backup PC and not my download PC is an evolutionary design, but it means one database spread among many machines, so each can quickly know what's online or offline. My Mediaportal 1.27, specifically MovingPictures uses addresses like \\Ryzen\SD02, and if Ryzen is hibernated I want all calls to \\Ryzen\SD02 to be transparently switched to the physical J:\SD02, but because there is no synced J:\HD02 it still reports \\Ryzen\HD02 as disconnected and thus the colored names only show what is connected when Ryzen is offline. In other words Ryzen holds all current bidirectional backup that spreads out among many machines, but also orphaned files, such as in HD02, which hopefully has an offline or offsite backup. I investigated DFS-N and still want a simpler standalone custom commandline. Alternatively how do I go about asking for an open source MovingPictures option to look at a local read only redirection list. I'm not in the least incovenienced by not yet having a failover command as using local shortcuts provides another source to maintaining my "already watched" list with reasonable accuracy.
