[QUOTE="piranha, post: 297672, member: 15076"] Yes, I actually use shared database. It's fine as long you have only one client writing to the db at the same time. I map a share of the server as a drive to each workstation, and change the location of the databases in "c:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortalDirs.xml" <Dir id = "Database"> <Path>t:\Database\</Path> </Dir> It is not recommended to change the MediaPortalDirs.xml directly, as you would need to apply the changes after each upgrade. In theory it should work if you place this file in My Documents, but it never worked for me this way. It is also important that the shares added to My Videos are present on each client (map the shares to the same drive letters). I also change the <Dir id = "Thumbs"> dir, to have all the thumbs, fanart located in one place. [/QUOTE]
