[QUOTE="Optronical, post: 970119, member: 137747"] Hi All, After two failed attempts at setting up a PC as a media centre with Media Portal in the bedroom I thought I'd come and ask for a wee bit of help. Currently I use a NAS, WD TV Live which are wired to the router in the living room. Since my laptop is now my number cruncher I wanted to set up my desktop as a media centre in the bedroom. I am not interested in TV Access at all as I refuse to pay TV License in the UK. The bedroom PC will be connected through wireless as I have a great signal to the bedroom. What I want to do is use this PC to access my NAS in the livingroom (where I store all my movies, photos, music, etc). On the PC I currently have Windows 7 installed. I've followed the tutorials tried to configure it and it has accessed a few films (20) but not the 379 I have currently have on my NAS and it hasn't collected any music at all. I do have a TV card in the PC which I will probably only use so I can use the remote control that comes with it. Failing that I will use my Android phone (Sensation) with AMPDriod as a remote. I am very technically minded (Jeez I'm an Electronic Design Engineer) and build PC's since the early days. However, setting this up is becoming a nightmare. As a test I used iBrickTunes and WMC to see if I can access the media on the NAS and I can but MP just won't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. James [/QUOTE]
