Network Folders Support

[markcl]

When I try to add a network folder to rhyhmbox, I get a Network Servers list on the folder list. When I do this on Exaile, there is no Network Servers list. What's going on? Doesn't exaile use the same gnome libraries rhythmbox uses?

Even when I bookmark the shared folder on nautilus, it still doesn't show up.

Cannot even drag/drop the file from share to exaile. :(

bug confirmed, any word on this?

after some searching i found that if the share is mounted it will show..(still new to linux ;-)

sudo mkdir /media/share
sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /media/share

hope this was helpful.

When a Server has been connected to the local machine, those share can be found in /home/<user>/.gvfs/<chosen name>
You'll have to enable hidden directories when browsing for local folders [CTRL+H] and you'll be ready to go.

That's only valid if gvfs-fuse is in use, and is non-deal since then we have to pass everything through FUSE instead of just using GIO directly. Mutagen has inidicated they would consider a patch to support using arbitrary file-like objects, which would enable us to use GIO for everything, so I see no reason why we should settle for relying on gvfs-fuse.

However, this will work for an interim solution - just keep in mind that the remote folder will need to be mounted all the time when Exaile is open.
