[QUOTE="Smeulf, post: 848211, member: 107874"] Unfortunatelly for some of you, we use some technologies avaliable only on Windows 7... You're right with your understanding. Server handles all media items paths plus metadatas. Usually it will be installed on the computer that contains the most medias or is powered on most of the time. You can add global shares to it, and access them from anywhere. Also, any local share added in any client will be imported in the server database, and if the client is started, the media contained in the client shares will also be avaliable from anywhere. You don't need any windows network shares. If medias don't play in the laptop client, there's may be an error somewhere. Did you checked you have the proper codecs to play your medias on the laptop ? Do you have any error in the laptop client's logs or the server logs ? Take a look here : [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/MediaPortal_2_Alpha_Release[/url], in the PreRequisite section please. You're talking about a new service pack ? Can you please tell us the exact message you get from the installer ? Cheers. Smeulf. [/QUOTE]
