<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This VFS module is part of the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>The <command>vfs_media_harmony</command> VFS module allows
Avid editorial workstations to share a network drive. It does
this by:</para>
<orderedlist continuation="restarts" inheritnum="ignore" numeration="arabic">
<listitem><para>Giving each client their own copy of the Avid
msmMMOB.mdb and msmFMID.pmr files and Creating directories.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Allowing each client to explicitly control the
write time the Avid application sees on Avid media directories.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>This module is stackable.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para><command>vfs_media_harmony</command> automatically redirects
requests from clients for Avid database files or an Avid Creating
directory to a client-specific version of the file. No
configuration beyond enabling the module is needed to get this
portion of its functionality working.</para>
<para>If Mac and Windows Avid clients will be accessing the same
folder, they should be given separate share definitions, with
hidden Mac files vetoed on the Windows share. See EXAMPLES.</para>
<para>To allow each client to control when the Avid application
refreshes their Avid databases, create files for each client
and each Avid media directory with the name
[avid_dir_name]_[client_ip_address]_[client_username].
To trigger Avid database refreshes, update the write time on
those files. See EXAMPLES.</para>
<para>It is also necessary for the <command>cache locked write times = no</command>
option to be set for clients to be able to control their Avid
media folder write times.</para>
</refsect1>

<para>Enable media_harmony for Mac and Windows clients:</para>

<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">media_harmony</smbconfoption>

<para>Create the files that will allow users david and susan
to control their own Avid database refreshes:</para>
<programlisting>
touch '/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192.168.1.10_david' \
'/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192.168.1.11_susan' \
'/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192.168.1.10_david' \
'/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192.168.1.11_susan'
</programlisting>
<para>Trigger an Avid database refresh for user david:</para>
<programlisting>
touch '/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192.168.1.10_david' \
'/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192.168.1.10_david'
</programlisting>
<para>If you have a large number of Avid media folders to manage,
you can give each editor a suitably modified version of
examples/scripts/vfs/media_harmony/trigger_avid_update.py to
create and update these files.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>CAVEATS</title>
<para><command>vfs_media_harmony</command> is designed to work with
Avid editing applications that look in the Avid MediaFiles or
OMFI MediaFiles directories for media. It is not designed to work
as expected in all circumstances for general use. For example: It
is possible to open a client-specific file such as
msmMMOB.mdb_192.168.1.10_userx even though it doesn't show up
in a directory listing.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>VERSION</title>
<para>This man page is correct for version 3.2.7 of the Samba suite.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
