Hi I'm runing Fedora C4.
Does anybody know how to make all media playes(xmms,Xine, totem...) run files directly from my home network). It's frustraring!! I can not wacth films, have to download it firts and then play it. (I don't like using lingneighborhood). Thanks for your help
I think you mean you want to play media files that are stored on one computer on another computer? The other computers being Windows I assume.
All you have to do is mount the Windows share in Linux, and it will appear as a local file system, then just play it from there. There is no reason to download it to your local machine.
