[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 552552, member: 18896"] I assume you have a dbase update batch script on the clients right now via task scheduler, so you add this code to that batch file. You can also relaunch MediaPortal after script finishes the dbase update. This code only works in a pull environment (client obtains data from server), for a push one (server forces update onto clients) you would need to use additional remote commands. Via temporary lock/flag files you can also create a push/pull hybrid situation in which the server places a temp file on the client to indicate it can update itself. The client polls for existence of this file and if it exists runs the pull update and deletes the temp file after it is done. That way you can even verify the update worked on the server side. PS: It might be easier to rely on a MediaPortal plugin scheduler, such as: [url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/SystemUtilities/GMPS-GeorgsMPScheduler/]MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - GMPS - Georgs MP Scheduler[/url] You can then simply schedule in a reboot at say 4am, and you modify your MediaPortal startup into a batch script that first downloads a new copy of the database from the server before it launches MediaPortal.
