[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1157184, member: 109222"] Hi. If you have set up your network properly and access to SQL is available from the System with TV server on, this should work. Also It is a bit tricky as the SQL server needs to be up and running before the TV Server can start. And be aware that both machines needs to be running if anyone is watching TV or a scheduled recording is running. So you first need to start the big server before you can start the TV Server. And you need a way to wake up the big server on every start of the TV Server System. Maybe by a script in Autostart that includes a wait command before the TV server software would be started. The above is valid for MP1. MP2 did not need any SQL server at all so for this there is no issue possible regarding this. MP2 uses SQLite per default. SQLite is faster a lot compared to MySQL and as every database access is limited to the MP2 Server itself there are no problems with multiple accesses at the same time (as they simply are not possible)... One word about the C2D... I have replaced my old C2Q 1 1/2 years ago by a Haswell i5. This now is doing the TV recording. My electric power bill is down at about 300€ per year only by replacing the core2Quad with an Haswell i5 A TV server machine needs to be up and running more often than you may expect so old and power consuming hardware is not the best choice for this. The pure power of the C2D is probably enough (but with not much spare power left) also it's highly recommended to add a second HDD to it for recordings and timeshifting. Or add some extra RAM to make a RAM Disk at least. Best would be a small SSD for Windows only. This will give the best possible performance... In general I would not recommend your scenario. Use a second SQL Server (MySQL or SQLServer) on the TV Machine only for the TV Server or use MP2. Those are both better ways than to use the external SQL Server. Edit: The scheduler (the software that wakes the system to do a recording) is part of the TV Server so this is available only on the system with the recording functions... [/QUOTE]
