[QUOTE="samedney, post: 9009, member: 10490"] I have media portal set up on a few PC's in my house. I have a Vaio laptop under the living room TV, which I use to access the media on its own disk, as well as media on my office PC. I have recently been DivX'ing as many of my DVD's as possible, so I can watch them without having to get the DVD out (plus its cool) ;) Now, I DivX the DVD's on the office PC, mostly because its faster, but also because its where the final AVI's will end up anyway. Now, I also do the IMDB search on the office PC, and get the info for the movie. I then get the correct image from Amazon if needed, and make sure the details are correct. Unfortunately, the information doesnt appear on the laptop in the living room. I have to go through the same procedure in order to pick up the values. I have found a "short cut" for this, which involves copying the videodatabase file from the office PC to the laptop. However, I then also have to copy the thumbs/video folder - containing any new images. Then I have to change the paths information too. I say its a "short cut" - because if I do this in batches, it is quicker than IMDB'ing a list of movies. One at a time, its probably not quicker. Anyway - is there a way to either share the databases, or synchronise the information, including any thumbnails?? The same could be done for photo thumbnails too. If not... I want one. I suspect Im not the only person with MP set up on more than one PC. [/QUOTE]
