[QUOTE="Albert, post: 662803, member: 67886"] [b]AW: What is Dokan?[/b] Dokan is a driver which allows us to show media items, which can be located all over the system (other computer, inside an archive or iso, etc.), as if they were located in the local file system. If you know Daemon Tools, it is very similar. Dokan hooks into the Windows filesystem and provides an additional drive (in our case, by default R:). If you choose a media item which is located at another computer, for example, MP 2 opens a network connection to that computer, loads the media item on-the-fly down and provides it through a path in that R: drive. When the playback ends, the virtual path to that item is automatically removed by our system. The driver affects the system's performance not noticeable, if at all. If you open the virtual drive in the explorer, for example, MediaPortal answers all those requests. So the browsing in R: is not so fast as if you're browsing your local HDD. [/QUOTE]
