Networked Fanart (1 Viewer)

Hi folks,

I'm currently installing a couple of mediaportal clients which will access movies & music from the server. Is there any way to have each client use the fanart on the server, or does each client have to download it's own fanart?

I'm pretty sure you can get Moving Pictures to grab the fanatic from your network instead of the internet but it will still store a copy locally on the client.

At least this is what I remember, might all be different now....

Hi.
You can change location to store fanart with a hack. Better is to use local fanart and .nfo stored together with your movies. So you only need to download and import them once... You may have a look at MovPicNfo, it's to find in this forum...

Use UNC network share paths for all the movie/tv/video/picture/music folders (even on the server side)
Then install MP on client
after installation just copy the MP appdata and MP program files directory from the server and overwrite the ones on the client
Then you will have everything pre setup with no configuration and no scraping/DLing of fanart
