[QUOTE="druid9, post: 248483, member: 28347"] Like I said, I may have missed the point, and perhaps I have, but.. How do you configure mediaportal? If you are going into the configuration app, then you can add movies to the database from there. Yuo could switch to share view and then hit the dots at the top of the share list to access other shares, find the relevant file, right click (or menu on your remote) and load IMDB information, this adds it to the database, then your done. Switch view back to database view.How are you getting IMDB information now? To be plain, Mediaportal is installed on my "c" drive, Music ,photos, stored music videos on "E", Movies on F&G. I do have a keyboard and mouse attached to the PC, but rarely use them for MP purposes, other than configuration. In the absence of that, maybe a Remote Desktop or VNC solution to allow you to access the Media PC from another machine is possible. Certainly Remote Desktop is a default part of most flavours of Windows XP and Vista. The media library on the HTPC is available to all computers in my home via a little wireless network. Each PC has its own database for music, movies etc., which is a pain when you have to update the database on each machine, maybe one day I'll write a script to automate that.
