[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 499965"] Hi Everyone, I have been looking at Mediaportal amongs others e.g. Myth TV/Mythbuntu etc etc. and after initial dabbling it appears to have a lot of promise as a replacement for my ageing freeview recorder. But, I want the Mediaportal client to be just that e.g. hold no content and get everything from the server - TV/DVDs/Pics/music etc. I have worked out how to install Mediaportal as a TV client and it talks to the server OK for TV (I've not actually seen streaming TV yet but the client is talking to the server) , but - I can't work out how to get it to see other media types, there do not appear to be any options on the client to make it go look for other media. I have seen a guide detailing how to get multiple clients to share a central server database but it says that is not officially supported. Am I missing something? Is it blatently obvious what needs doing to make the client to point to the server for all content and I'm just being dumb :-) ??? TIA Cheers AJS [/QUOTE]
