[QUOTE="Caramel, post: 426035, member: 41405"] I personally would love to see a move to mySQL db, my current setup has a linux fileserver with a collection of hdd's running samba (allowing me to symlink my series folders from accross 4 hdd's to one share directory). My MP machine has a CF Card for a hdd and has absolutely no 'data' stored on it (just windows install and MP) it gets ALL of the MP info from a samba share (even the skin cache is on the share) all done just by changing the MediaPortalDirs.xml. The advantage of a mySQL is that i can run that on the linux server and would also allow me to use the same db easily for php web pages etc (to display tvseries files/data and ultimately stream video to laptop/pda/?phone?) I am also trying to figure an easy way to display episodes that i am missing etc. Yes i know there are sqlite plugins for php but try using one successfully on the version of sqlite that MP uses before even mentioning them (they SUCK in a bad way.. most are for REALLY old versions on sqlite... cause most PHP devs don't bother with it and use mySQL or other *real* db options).
