[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 957499, member: 76888"] Decide which of your 4 computers is going to be watching the most live tv, (probably your lounge computer) and make that the tvserver PC. Install both tv tuners into this PC. Install Mediaportal client and tvserver on the lounge computer. When install mediaportal chose Titan Extended option. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Quick_Setup[/url] Now load Mediaportal extension manager (under the start menu) and install My tv series. To install Moving Pictures go [URL='http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/']here[/URL]. Setup and configure mediaportal tvserver on the lounge PC (see wiki, probably the hardest part of setup) [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Quick_Setup/2_TV_Quick_Setup[/url] Setup and configure mediaportal client on the lounge PC (see wiki). [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Quick_Setup/1_MediaPortal_Quick_Setup[/url] You can skip the videos section as we are using moving pictures and my tvseries plugins to cover videos, however videos can be useful for browsing videos that don't fit in the above two plugins, eg. home videos, or maybe some old tv recordings from windows media centre that you are not going to rename and put into tv series. The advice to have timeshifting on the NAS earlier is incorrect, timeshifting files are like temporary windows/windows paging file, which obviously you would want stored locally, not on the NAS. For tvrecordings you might as well store them on the lounge PC rather than the NAS, as the lounge PC will need to be awake whenever you watch a tvrecording because the tvserver runs the tvrecordings database. Use Moving Pictures to point to your movie folder(s) on the NAS, use my tvseries to point to your tv show folder(s) on your NAS. Use UNC windows shares paths (ie \\Ready NAS\C\TVSHOWS\) rather than mapped network drives. [url]http://code.google.com/p/mptvseries/wiki/GettingStarted[/url] [url]http://moving-pictures.tv/wiki/Main_Page[/url] After getting the lounge PC working correctly you can install mediaportal client only on the remaining 3 computers. Don't bother running setup just copy the program files mediaportal client directory and the program data mediaportal client directory from your lounge PC and overwrite all the files. Now you only have to load MP Config on each of the 3 computers and setup the live tv section to point to your tvserver PC. If you watch live tv or tv recordings then the MP Client will wake up the lounge PC. If you watch a tvseries or movies then the lounge PC does not need to wake up. [/QUOTE]
