[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1254047, member: 153283"] Hi ajs The help file I sent you explains how the Media Sync Service works and answers several of the questions you pose. The Media Sync Service has no effect on TV series. It only deals with VideoDatabaseV5.db3 files, not with the MyTvDb SQL database. The VideoDatabaseV5.db3 files contain the videos/programs you have recorded and monitors where last watched position is of any programs that have been watched, whereas the MpTvDb database contains programs you have recorded and whether those programs belong to a schedule/series. Each MP client has a separate VideoDatabaseV5.db3 file and the Media Sync Service ensures that changes in one VideoDatabaseV5.db3 file are distributed to all other client VideoDatabaseV5.db3 files. If there are VideoDatabaseV5.db3 files in your setup that are not available at the time that a program has been watched by another client, because the machines holding those VideoDatabaseV5.db3 files are switched off, then they will not be updated with changes stored in the MpTvSync SQLite database until they use MP and close MP again, because the Media Sync Service is only triggered when a MP client session closes. This is why it is so important that the client databases be located on a machine that is always running. Doing this will then ensure all client databases are kept synchronized irrespective of whether the client machines are turned on or off. The Media Sync Service is working in my setup, that has five clients, with no issues. I am content to keep using my system and don't need to share it, but am happy to do so provided testers are clear about what their setups are so I can appreciate what is going on when problems arise. I don't feel that I have enough information to understand what your setup is or appreciate what you are expecting that the Media Sync Service does not provide. But I guess this is always the issue with trying to help remote users... Tony [/QUOTE]
