[QUOTE="qwaven, post: 716191, member: 96874"] Thanks for your responses. I believe based on mbuzina's reply that what I am trying to do is not possible at this time. But for clarification to ryan20021982 just in case I will try to explain some more. :) Basically I have a lan of some computers which all access their information from a file server. I would like to use the file server to run Media Portal (thats easy) and have the LAN computers all point to the file server to browse the media via a web interface of some kind. Reason being is indexing the files would be a lot faster accessing the local drive as apposed to over the LAN, while also enabling me to maintain a single database. Text Diagram: [LAN Computers] --> [url]http://mediaserver:8080[/url] --> browse web view of media catalog --> play video/other media through the LAN. Ideally the web interface would simply be just an interface and streaming would still go as normal through a network share seemlessly (invisible) to the client. Anyway I thought it was already possible. If not I suppose this would be an idea for anyone interested and the knowledge to design it. ;) Cheers and thanks! [/QUOTE]
