    Since adding and changing the tv logos on each MediaPortal client when a new channel arrived or a channel name was changed in the tv server etc. is a bit cumbersome, I was wondering if there are some solutions or workarounds available, so that you could manage these logos in a centralized way? Even if it's just a little batch script for instance.

    I don't use MediaPortal these days, but when I did I used to share a folder on the server that contained the logos and then just point the clients at that share. I believe it required changing the file MediaPortalDirs.xml, which I think is located under ProgramData on Vista and Win7 but I can't remember for certain.

    Another option could be to use symlinks like:

    Code:
    mklink /d "\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\tv\Recorded" "\\SERVER\SHARE\ProgramData\TeamMediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\tv\Recorded"

    Note that the destination directory mustn't exist and that at least I had to enclose the paths in "...".

    Reading thumbs over the network might slow down MP, even though I can't say I've noticed it.
