client-server or hosted database possibility? (1 Viewer)

[bob808]

I have 3 MP setups in my home, 2 remote clients and one client/server.

All movies are on the server, and I current use moving pictures on all 3 machines - I would like to have the 'master' database mirrored on all other machines so that art and watched/partial watched status is available on any machine in the home. Is this possible with Moving Pictures, or if not would anyone be interested in this as a feature request?

Thanks

This is not offically supported at this time, and there is an existing enhancement ticket for this feature that you can star at Google code website for this project.

You can however follow the how-to guide at the MediaPortal site on how to setup what you want, in short, you just make sure that the master/server setup mirrors how you would set it up on the slaves/clients. So on the server you install MediaPortal+MovingPictures by using \\Server-name\Path-to-items for import paths/etc, and then you simply copy over the db3 files and thumbs folder and other related files from the server to the clients via batch files. Other users have already done this and if you search the forums you can make use of their efforts to make it work.

But if things go wrong, you are on your own as this is once again not officially supported.
