Ok here is the deal my iTunes library is growing fast like over 100 gig fast ( movies )
I have 2 apple TV 3 iPhones 3 iPads in my house
My iTunes is on my windows 7 laptop so to stream anything from iTunes aka home sharing I have to make sure my laptop is turned on iTunes open etc.
I already know how to move my library to a external no prob but i would like to have some kind of server that is always on so when I want to access it I don't have to do anything .. A dedicated pc is out of the question
Is there a way to hook my external to a router and setup a nat server or something or would iTunes on my pc still need to be on .. ?
I need something that will support home sharing or something my apple tv can see just like as if my computer and iTunes is open
I am really tech savvy and can setup just about anything I'm just not sure what to get or where to start
Any ideas I would appreciate
Thanks
