[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 297756, member: 65661"] Actually, I was trying to allow for the TV server and Media db being on separate machines... I was looking at the quick and dirty result first, if TVServer was present, then auto select that machine, unless you wanted to change it by browsing to another machine which might hold the media database (or select local machine as db location). by write restriction I meant polling the network to see if a write activity was being done by another client., then wait for it to be done before a write attempt (isn't that how most clients work that use a central db server?). Not everyone is up to the task of changing xmls directly... and an automated configuration system would also accommodate the generally lazy people (like me) :D .... imagine if all the configurations for the system had to be done by direct xml edit, I wouldn't bother with the software if it didn't have a GUI :). ... although, I remember building 3D objects by entering xyz coords and surface attributes with a text editor, and then rendering with a long command-line string (I've REALLY gotten lazy) Chuck [/QUOTE]
