It's like building a 2-seat car and then somebody saying "but I want 4 seats", it will pretty much require an almost full redesign, but at the same time the owners of the 2-seat car expect their car to be improved as well. So it will eventually get done, but nobody looks forward to throwing away a stable product and start over, or attempt to stretch and pull, to turn what they got in what is asked for, because you run the risk of introducing a lot of bugs that nobody wants.In the meantime there are many workaround and tricks you can use to get as close to what you want as possible. If you scan the forum, you will find other users who have been able to hack together some sort of server/client setup that works for them. Or for example use the XBMC NFO system to make re-import easier, incase you made custom changes. If you scan forum you will find some tools created by others to make this process very easy.Another question you should be asking yourself, is why are all your reimports after reinstall needed, because even if you do reinstall MediaPortal, you can install MovingPictures and restore your database/artwork backups and you will be up and running in a very short time.So if you setup everything based on UNC paths, you can create duplicate setups in which your 'office' system can copy the 'livingroom' database as-is (all paths and settings will be the same), and all the watched flags will be kept. Since I'm sure you don't have MePo running all the time in office, you can simply write a little batch file that before MePo is started it copies the database over. It adds a few seconds delay, but at least you got it close to what you want then.</blockquote>
