Mediaportal setting up on server aand other pcs (1 Viewer)

[3000rpm]

I dont know if this can be done but this is the situation i have....

In our house we have 3 plasmas and 1 cinema room with projector, I have computers connected to each and a main server computer where all our movies are held all .mkv high def movies over 5TB of them.

I come across your software and it makes it easy for me to find my movies as they are split onto different hard drives and also across the network but i have mapped the drives on each computer and allows me to find the movies i want to watch without looking up the names on imdb etc and i can just choose the genre i want to watch horror etc.

I scanned all the movies and most of them didnt get automatically recognised but this was not a problem as I can just find it manually, but the problem comes when I need to do this on all of our computers.

What would be ideal is if we just updated one database and all the computers linked to this, so that when for example we added new movies we added to Mediaportal and this happened on everyones version.

Is this possible?

Thank you for any help.

I would suggest moving pictures plugin I do about the same as you 3 mediacenters with a file server holding the movies and tv shows.

Moving pictures is alot faster and better at scanning your movies, plus it looks better.

I completely agree with ryan, MovingPictures is awesome! I highly recommend at least giving it a shot.

Although I don't believe it is possible yet, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere here that the Moving Pictures team is working on the ability to have the database stored centrally on the server and just have the MP clients pull from that database.

It doesn't really matter once you get it setup...MovingPictures updates itself so you literally drop a new movie on the server and all of the clients update automatically. Works that way for me at least
