Can MediaPortal play movies on a networked server? (1 Viewer)

Indeed... I've got all my media on a single fileserver [Windows 2000 Server] running on my network.
I mapped a copule of network drives on my HTTP to the shares on that fileserver and then pointed MP towards those network drives.
Works like a charm, even with HD [x.264/720p or 1080p] content.

You have to map a network drive to a share on the server and add this to MP setup.

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...
