I have 2 PC's with MP installed. I have some movie ISO files on one PC. Is there a way through media portal for the other PC to access those same video's?

    Hi there

    Assuming network between them, you can just add the network location as a video folder.
    example: \\pcname\sharename\FolderWithIsos
    I you wnt to take it a step further and even share the MP databases, look at this page in manual. Not recommended for beginner.

    Thank you for your reply. I had tried this but it was not working so I assumed I was not doing this correctly. I uninstalled MP, than reinstalled/configured MP and now it works.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
