Stubled upon this thread by acident but tought I'd give my toughts. I have no idea when it comes to programming or databases and so on, but as a user, here is what I would really like a HTPC setup to look like.


You have one server that stores the mediafiles, and the database (this can either be a stand alone computer or one of your HTPC just like TV-Server today).


Then you have one or more HTPCs around the house.


 - When one starts up the HTPC program you get to choose who you are from a list. "Mom, Dad, Bob, Billy, Chuck, Nina, Biff" etc.


 - Once you have chosen who you are, you get access to the the "Home menu" and can watch/listen to what you want. Just like you have in todays Mediaportal.



This way each user can have their own home menu, and their own movie lists and "watched"-list.


This is probably alot more work to set up, but imo that is the ultimate setup.
