[QUOTE="bmeine, post: 307896, member: 30304"] First off, I used MediaPortal for a while up until I got Satellite + DVR (less than a year ago), at which point I stopped using my MP PC since I had some issues with recording anyway which may or may not have been my fault. I still am relying on the DVR for recording because it gets the job done, but may end up using MP recordings again if I can get the following setup to work. I currently use MP to access my DVD library which I have ripped to a Raid 5 array. To the point, I was wondering if MediaPortal can support multiple instances? The reason I ask is because while I can build MP clients for each TV for ~$250 w/remote each, I can build a single computer with a video card per TV for less money (combination of PCI and PCI-Express video cards). Then using A/V wall plates, like the ones used with projectors, I could connect each video card output to a corresponding TV all while keeping the MP PC in a central location. By simply dragging the minimized MP window instance onto a specific screen/TV and then maximizing it, it is essentially "assigned" to that video card. A problem I do foresee is how to assign each remote (RF of course) to a specific instance of MP. This may be solved with a plug-in that starts its own instance of the remote software instead of letting Windows start the remote. I'm not really sure at this point. Has anyone already tackled something like this? Would it even be possible with the current version? Thanks for any help with this. Great job with MP by the way. [/QUOTE]
