[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 1005481, member: 55213"] Well, as you probably already noticed - the setup wizard is made for standard local install - we do not have a wizard for networked setups, so networked stups have to be made "by hand". Basic setup steps are: - create an initial config - u can use the wizard for that - adapt the config to use network pathes, where needed (DB path, artwork pathes, etc.) - after you've modified the MyFilms config, you also have to update the AMCupdater config accordingly (it probably still has the config you created initially when using the wizard for local install). Easiest is to "recreate" the AMCU config, that should update it accordingly. - Open AMCupdater and check, that config was changed accordingly - DB path should now also be your network path (otherwise imports go into your "old" place) - If all is fine, you can import movies - either in MyFilms GUI - or use AMCupdater Note: Do not yet use the config sync, unless all is working as you wish, as it makes things more complicated at the beginning If all is fine, DB should be populated and you should be able to use it from your HTPC When you are fine with that - you can use the config sync setup to "upload" that config to your server. This allows you to load this config from any other HTPC, so you don't need to setup MyFilms there - even if you do NOT use the syncing on startup. Do it step by step - a networked config with central DB is a bit tricky at the beginning, as it allows many many options and is not automated/wizard supported; once it is up and running, it is a great thing - and adding a new HTPC is done within a few seconds ... Note2: If you should ask, why AMCupdater uses a separate config - that is to allow it run separate - e.g. on a fileserver or other PC, where it is much easier to handle than on a HTPC. [/QUOTE]
