Hi,

they want a shared database.

On a client server model, you have not only placed your videos on a server, you have also a centralized database. The clue behind that is, you can have more than one MP client, that connects to the server.

Currently the database is stored locally on the client. In that case, you have to download IMDB information on every client for instance. With a centralized database, you would download the information once for all clients. Same goes for recordings. Make a recording on one client, the other can only access the file, if you are recording to a share. But it cannot access the information stored in the DB.

Flip.
