[QUOTE="erichzann, post: 933985, member: 116360"] Hi Andreas, That's interesting that you are thinking of combining your servers. I have gone through the opposite process of separating them and I am very glad I did. I run a HP Microserver running Ubuntu for my media and file server and this is always on 100% of the time as someone is always watching films, listening to music, doing some work etc, or the server itself is running backups. I reckoned that the TV Server does not need to be on that much. Therefore the TV Server just wakes up when a mp client starts up or someone asks it to wake up. My thinking behind keeping them separate is: - Run a very quiet low spec, low power machine for the file server (which can sit in a cupboard as it does not need to be close to the aerials) - Keep the Ubuntu install very minimal and rarely make changes so that there is less chance of breaking anything. - Run a more powerful TV server for transcoding when using MP Extended. - Not upset the family when I tinker with the TV Server and break something. - Be able to do a new OS install on the TV server without taking the file server down. etc I'll be interested to hear how you get on.
