[QUOTE="smande00, post: 44311, member: 19339"] I just recently installed MediaPortal and would like to accomplish the same exact thing (multiple "thin" clients and a single "master" with a tv capture card). I took a VERY quick look at the database source code in CVS and offhand I think this could be implemented by sharing out a single directory on a "server" that contains the db files. Then an additional configuration variable would need to be added to point to the central database location. This would have the effect of enabling all MediaPortal machines on your network to access and update a single "database", which is much simpler, in my opinion, than trying to synchronize multiple machines whenever new media is added to your library. As a disclaimer it should be noted that I've never developed with SQL Lite before and I can't say if it will support data access over a network share. Can anyone more familiar with the code and SQL Lite comment on the feasability of this approach? Otherwise, I'll try and play with it a little this weekend and post my results. [/QUOTE]
