[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 503490, member: 53076"] OK. I went back through & checked everything. I adjusted the folders to allow them to be changed inside the network & sharing area. I then reinstalled the MSSQL & then reopened the TVSeries (TVS) config, & all the errors were gone & I could reset the import paths. I used 'Start Import' in the TVS config as there were still issues with thumbs & media playback. It imported all the banners & thumbs. I can now playback media with the thumbs present inside MP. Questions: it saved the banners/thumbs to the local, default directory. I can see the paths in 'TVS\config\about' & can link to them, using the 'show' link, but cannot alter them to my shared thumbs folder. Maybe this is a limitation with this version? Might try a later version when I get more time: in a weekend. Also, why is it necessary to setup a shared database/thumbs directories & [U]copy[/U] the information across from the original folders in the Mediaportal directory on the singleseat HTPC? Does that not mean an extra set of files to manually update when the originals are updated. Would it not be better to simply copy the original mediaportaldirs.xml file to the shared\config folder & modify the paths to direct to the default database/thumbs folders, in the remote client machine. I ssume this is not possible as it is stipulated they should be the same on both machines. But I can't see how the modified one on the singleseat is automatically updated when the originals are. Am I missing something basic here:S Thanks for your assistance, again, rekenaar. PS Did you say you are also using Moving Pictures this way? If so, which version? [/QUOTE]
