[QUOTE="wb228, post: 558636, member: 59834"] I tried the databases shared and hit all sorts of problems. What I did in the end was: 1. Setup a shared database folder. 2. Use a program called SyncBack to sync the database to a local computer when it turned on (before loading MediaPortal) 3. SyncBack when logged out back to server, preserving watched flags etc. I do this with all databases and thumbs folders as well, meaning I can add new movies / TV series on one PC and the thumbs are carried over as well... Only one issue with doing it this way - which is if you have two PCs on at the same time. one will override the other on logout so if you watch movie A on PC 1 and movie B on PC2, when syncback runs it takes the latest, meaning you will lose the watched flag for the movie on whichever PC was turned off first. Of course, you can start watching a movie in the living room. Stop half way, turn computer off. Turn bedroom PC on afterwards and continue where you left off. [/QUOTE]
