Just a thought. In lieu of multiseat support, would it be possible to allow the Moving Pictures config program to connect different databases.
The current lack of multiseat support leads to, I think, to two main problems. One is duplication of data and the second is duplication of effort.
For now I can live with the duplication of data, and to be honest, a lot of the duplication of effort is reduced by 'proper naming' of files and the auto scanning, importing and downloading of metadata. However there are some tasks that are mouse and keyboard tasks (config) and others that are remote (GUI). With the addition of categories, there are now more mouse and keyboard tasks. It would be nice to use the config program from my office machine, where I rip the discs, to add movies to categories on the HTPC which usually have just remotes connected to them. Being able to connect to multi databases would make it much easier and thus more frequently done.
Is this possible?
