This is how I use the centralized database: My htpc rig is dedicated for viewing movies only. It only gets fired up when I want to view a movie. That involves firing up my lcd television, receiver and htpc. Takes quite some time for say adding a movie to my Moving Pictures database. That is why...

With a small adjustment one could prevent databases to get corrupted. One could start MP through a batchfile. The first client that starts MP checks if a file (e.g. INUSE.DAT) exists on the share. If not, it creates the file and starts MP. When it exits, it deletes the inuse file. If, for some...

Having said that, the most important part of the guide is this: This "stike through" part does not preserve your changes when upgrading: Now from each MediaPortal PC client, you should make a backup or rename your local MediaPortalDirs.xml file (so you can roll back if problems arise) and then...

Stupid me. It's been a while since I set it up o_O Re-reading the guide it occurred to me that it's not complete. One needs to edit the MediaPortalDirs.xml in Program Files on every client that is to connect to the databases on the share. No way MediaPortal will find it's databases by simply...

Currently I use MP 1.0.2.0. Actually, what you say is that the Moving Pictures plugin 1.3.1 does work with MP 1.0.2.0 out-of-the-box?

OK, guess I'll have to wait for MP2 then. Thanks for your support.

Oops, made a mistake with the MP version number in the original post.. I downloaded and installed MP 1.2.3, not MP2 MP 1.2.3 too does not support centralized databases?

Hi, Using MP1, with Moving Pictures plugin, for years now,. Video content centrally stored on a NAS, video databases too like described in this (not supported) wiki (http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/20_Reference/Databases/Central_Database) Works like a charm. One thing my...
