[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 722553, member: 91446"] I am very confused. Surely, if you have a PC setup as a NAS with all your music/movies etc on it, you don't need to "stream" them, you can just tell the MP client software to look for media on the NAS network location - is that not the whole point of a NAS? For example, if you have a NAS on 192.168.1.5 and a drive on that NAS called "Music", under the MP Configuration you can set the music folder to "\\192.168.1.5\Music" (without the "s). Then whenever you run MP it will look on the NAS for your music. If half of your music is on the NAS and half on the Mediaportal PC (single-seat setup) then you add both paths to the folder list in MP config. Depending upon your power-saving options on the NAS, you will be able to use a WOL Plugin within MP to allow you to wake-up the NAS from sleep (your NAS software will need to make sure it doesn't sleep while you are accessing data from MP).
