Hi,

I have mediaportal installed on a pc that is connected with my tv.
It holds all my movies and they are added in moving pictures with covers, ...
I just installed mediaportal client on my laptop.
I also installed moving pictures.

How can I make it use the movies/covers/... of on my main pc?
I can point him to the folders where the movies are stored but I still need to redownload all covers, ...
(I want it to use the database of my server)
Is this possible and how?

    Multi-seat with server and client setup is being worked on, there is a method available with a lot of risks at:


    But you are venturing into unsupported areas then (Backup OFTEN).

    Another solution would be to re-organize your movie collection with the XBMC+Artwork application, possibly in combination with the dedicated folder app.


    Then you can set all your "clones", to no longer connect to the internet to obtain info, but to use the NFO files for the info (so it duplicates your main setup), including all artwork.
