[QUOTE="JSchuricht, post: 1122668, member: 87223"] I have been using MP1 with Moving Pictures for many years now. Sadly I just noticed v. 2 is out so it's time to start thinking about upgrading. I am having difficulty sifting through the documentation especially involving the client/server setup and much of it seems to be referencing MP1 anyways. Anyways I am firing up some fresh virtual machines to start testing but am looking for pointers on things to avoid so I am not forced to reinstall a year from now due to a poor decision. My plan is to setup a MP2 server on a Windows 8.1 virtual machine on a Hyper V/Remote FX server with 4 cores, 2GB dynamic RAM 8GB limit, 100GB partition. MP2 client 1: reuse the existing MP1 client hardware, Core2 Quad IIRC 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM, 100GB ISCSI boot, Win 8.1. MP2 client 2 will likely be a i3-3220, 8GB RAM, 100GB ISCSI boot, Win 8.1. Storage for all media is provided by a dedicated storage server with SMB 3.02 shares. I am curious to see if each client uses the MP2 server as a media source or the storage server directly. Network is 10Gb at the servers and 1Gb to each client with dedicated links for ISCSI on a separate VLAN. [/QUOTE]
