[QUOTE="MrLobster, post: 530303, member: 96543"] As it currently stands, you can point the plugin to the files stored on a shared directory on another PC (say a PC in the loft). But its just all the DB stuff and images that are stored at client level. But streaming the images etc from the PC in the loft isnt hard. Using SQL (MySQL prefered for me), would help a lot in an attempt to get a multiseat working. I dont think multi user for marking watched etc are needed as it would over complicate things too much. Client+Server (Singleseat) setup: [B]HTPC[/B] Mediaportal All plugins point to the relevent Media Folder on clients PC. MySQL DB for TvServer/TvSeries/MovingPictures. All Movies/Episodes/Videos/Music/Pictures All Fanart All Episodes Images Client with Server (Multiseat) setup: [B]HTPC 1 (Client), HTPC 2 (Client)[/B] Mediaportal Mapped Drive using relevent folders to the media on the MediaCenter (Server)* All plugins point to the Mapped Drive* [B]MediaCenter (Server)[/B] MySQL DB for TvServer/TvSeries/MovingPictures. All Movies/Episodes/Videos/Music/Pictures All Fanart All Episodes Images Shared Drive for the HDD(s) which hold the media above* * This could be configured to a single drive being mapped and then the plugin is given the folder name. Is this too far from what people are wanting? As for being too complicated for those wanting singleseat ability only, its not too difficult, as most people will think about using tvserver at some time, and its pretty harmless to install MySQL (all you need to remember is a username and password, which tvserver provides on install). For those wanting Multiseat, they are more likely a little more aware of how networks function, and will be easy for them to setup this system. [/QUOTE]
