ShareBrowser
ShareBrowser settings
The ShareBrowser media management system is available as a component requiring initialization. If ShareBrowser use is intended and its menu is not presented when clicking ShareBrowser, see the Initialization section to start the ShareBrowser service.
ShareBrowser is not required for standard EVO operation, though it does provide for many additional features and added functionality. ShareBrowser requires Slingshot for automations, and both plugins are activated when ShareBrowser is enabled.
Click the pencil to toggle ShareBrowser Server or Avahi advertisement settings.
Server version - Displays the version of the ShareBrowser server component running on EVO.
Server - Enabled by default when components are initialized. Disabling is recommended when pushing metadata to a primary ShareBrowser database in a Multiple EVO environment.
When “Push metadata to a central EVO” is enabled in a Multiple EVO environment, server information is replaced with a dropdown selection for Remote and Local.
Avahi advertisement - Disabled by default. Enable to advertise the ShareBrowser Server via mDNS. Note this setting is independent of EVO Avahi network advertising at the Network page.
Configure index/proxy settings - Links to the Slingshot > Index/Proxy tab where indexer behavior and proxy generation are configured.
View index/proxy tasks - Links to the Slingshot > Automations Index/proxy tasks page.
Configure AI/ML services - Links to the Slingshot > Settings tab, where Autotagging is configured.
Import/export database - Links to the Support > OS Data tab, where databases can be imported/exported.
Note
ShareBrowser in this guide refers to the ShareBrowser server component that’s included with EVO. For information about the ShareBrowser client, web and NLE applications, refer to the ShareBrowser guide: https://studio-network-solutions-sharebrowser-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/
Advanced permissions sync (ACL)
Note that the options differ depending on the permission mode used by EVO. ShareBrowser Client will respect user permissions when working with files; however, there may be situations where ShareBrowser can display information about content that’s inaccessible to the user, but found by ShareBrowser’s indexer.
In the default Share level permission mode, Advanced permissions sync (ACL) is neither needed nor available.
In the File / Folder level permission mode, enabling Advanced permissions sync (ACL) for shares will ensure each file’s permission is reflected when browsing ShareBrowser’s database at the next index operation.
