[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1253933, member: 153283"] Hi ajs My software does not have to be installed all at once. For example, the synchronization feature can be installed on its own and it doesn't need to access the SQL database, so you can have that straight away. The issue now, is where to install it. I install my software on the same machine that contains the SQL database. In my setup this machine is separate from the TV server. But the sync service can be installed anywhere so long as it has access to all of the client databases and is running 24/7. In my setup I use the shared configuration option in MP1 where I have a MediaPortalDirs.xml file in the user section of each client machine pointing to the SQL database machine and setup all of the client databases on the same machine - so the configuration, skins, databases etc. are all on the same machine but not the TV server. I find that MP1 works best when the TV server doesn't have many competing processes on it. I think the best way to proceed is for me to send you the software and for you to see how you go from there. The sync service does three things: [LIST] [*]Processes a video database when it is changed (by a client MP closing) and copies the result to overwrite all other declared client databases; [*]Periodically processes any video file changes that have been queued because one of the client video databases is locked at the time of one of the MP clients being closed; when the MP system is idle; [*]Periodically clears down obsolete data from the video databases. [/LIST] Let me know if you have any questions about how to set up the system. Tony P.S. do you have a SQL Server database or only a MySQL database. If the former, I can give you all of the software. If you only use MySQL, I need to update my system to work with MySQL; but that will take a while. [/QUOTE]
