[QUOTE="charli181, post: 284242, member: 54408"] For multiple clients, each machine needs to be configured. Currently there is no supported centralised database storage. There is however a cheat sheet to setting this up although it is not officially support but does work well. I have never had a problem but others have. Basic store your media (Music/Pictures/Movies) on shared drives and use unc connections to connect (i.e \\computername\sharefoldername). this then eliminates setting up mapped drives on each client. The link below has full details on setup and how to configure each client. the link to the centralised db on the wiki is [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/UserGuides/CentralisedDatabases]UserGuides/CentralisedDatabases - MediaPortal Documentation[/url] As for databases, I wuse MSSQL but I think you will find it is all personal preferences more than for performance.
