[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1161879, member: 74879"] Remote databases add a lot of maintenance comfort across a multitude of clients, particularly in terms of sharing TVSeries, Movie and other information rather than multiplying already existing data. In practice it does not seem to cause any issues other than on this particular client. From a disaster recovery standpoint, what is missing in MP is a logic that verifies the existence and/or accessibility of paths as defined in the respective mediaportaldirs.xml. I could imagine a polling process in say 5 sec intervals until the remote shares are accessible. MP should not launch plugins or its own databases before said paths are online. In essence, the limitations in MP1 for multi-client environments are the reason why I am now closely looking into MP2 (however, a couple of things are not working to my requirements yet, therefore I have not switched).
