[QUOTE="ramsascooby, post: 796467, member: 115922"] Hi everyone New to mediaportal - recomended by a friend, after many months of disatisfaction with windows media centre. I have installed mp1.2 and found it very good and works well but having a few difficulties trying to set it up to suit what i'm trying to achieve. My target/ set up is this. I have 3 windows home servers where i store my movies, music, family photo's and videos. I'm also wanting to store recorded tv on here but i don't want to record directly here from the htpc due to network activity restrictions. I have a htpc running win7 and mediaportal with a dual tv card in the lounge i have another htpc running win7 in the Den, onto which i'm planning to put mp which has a dual tv card also I have 2 popcorn hours in bedrooms regarding play back of server stored items using mp all is fine its just being able to split down the videos so they don't all appear in 1 big collection. I'm wanting to split them down into Family videos music videos Recorded tv pictures,movies, music and tv series are fine using mp and plug ins - moving pictures and tv series for recording of tv my plan was to locally record on the htpc's, then batch file transfer them to the server - the aim is that all recorded tv is available from any where regardless of where it was recorded and without the need to leave the htpc's running. being able to specify in mp multiple locations for retrieving the recorded tv shows would sort this- maybe this is possible and i just cant find it As stated earlier i don't want to directly record tv to the server due to network limitations - my servers are remote from the bulk of the network they are coupled to a local switch and a single cat 5 connects them to network switch to which all other items are connected.Unfotunately for noise reasons ( wifey says so) the servers must stay where they are. Hope this makes sense any help will be greatly appreciated:D [/QUOTE]
