I have a couple of friends who are using MePo in one machine in their house, with no TV Server Plugin.

On my setup, I have some recorded TV shows that I would like to be able to copy to their systems and have them watch. They all end in *.ts

What is the best way to copy them from my setup to their machine and have the TV show appear on their MePo Screen?

Hi gtfreymann

I *think* TsReader is included with MP even when the TV plugin is not installed. In that case all you have to do is copy the files to a folder/share that they have configured in their video folders list. Then they can use the videos plugin to play the video.
