[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1167971, member: 153283"] If what you are wanting to do is store timeshifts in one machine that are accessible from your other MP clients, then this link will show how this can be done: [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/20_Reference/Databases/Central_Database'][U]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/20_Reference/Databases/Central_Database[/U][/URL] I think the key thing here is that you should use local file referencing on the server, and use UNC file referencing for the server file shares on your client machines (do not use mapped network drives to access file shares on your server machine). This worked for me but you will need to keep a backup of your new 'MediaPortalDirs.xml' on each machine because this file will be overwritten back to local settings if you re-install or upgrade MP1. Also, the sharing seems not to kick in until you have played, stopped and played a media file again - don't know why. After that, if you watch a program and stop it before the end and you play that program from another machine then you should be offered the option the restart viewing from where you left off.
