[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1183848, member: 82144"] Hi Technically MediaPortal 1 isn't really designed for this. However it [I]is [/I]possible. In essence you need to share the databases that MediaPortal uses. There are a couple of possible ways to do that. You can share and/or redirect MP's database folder as described in our wiki: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/20_Reference/Databases/Central_Database[/URL] Please take the warnings on that page seriously. In particular, if you have both clients using MP simultaneously then you may run into database corruption. As such, it would be wise to institute some kind of backup system. The other way is to use the MPSync plugin: [URL]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/utilities/cdb-sync[/URL] My understanding is that MPSync is a streamlined version of the first approach. MediaPortal 2 is designed from the ground up with a client-server architecture in mind, so you can definitely do what you described. However MP2 is completely different to MP1, so you'd have migration plus a learning curve to deal with. [/QUOTE]
