Re: AW: Synchronizing multiple clients - feature request

Off-course all clients are setup the same (its just one file that holds the MediaPortal directory structure) and use only media storage outside the clients (only NAS storage is used for media), so no media sharing from a client is active. Even when using 2 clients on the same time there are no issues. The NAS devices we use can handle 2 or more data streams on the same time without any problem. We don't use the TV client, there is no recording of any data, only playing, so no writing is done while using MediaPortal.

Edit: I just fired up two clients (both are AMD E-350 systems) and startup the same full-HD stream stored on NAS. They are playing flawless as we speak. So maybe on a differend setup it can go wrong but that is not the case in our house (with five MP clients).

I think one central storage place, outside the clients, for all media, database, thumbs, backdrops, fan-art, etc. has a major advantage
