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.

    MP1 MP2 1.31.0 Cannot view Changelog anymore DE
    Hi all, I don't frequently update my MediaPortal and before seeing if it's really useful I used to browse the Changelog to determine if this update is necessary for my system or not. Today I wanted to check the Changelog for version 1.34 (1.31 installed on my system) and I was asked for a “Jira” login. I tried to use the same one as...

    Q1.) How do I tell what version of Media Portal 2 is installed? I installed Media Portal about a year ago and have not used it yet because of illness. Q2.) If there is a newer version, what is the best way to upgrade?

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.
