[QUOTE="rekenaar, post: 505092, member: 27829"] Sorry, I do not follow. Can you elaborate a bit more? So you are referring to the [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/UserGuides/CentralisedDatabases"]instructions in the manual[/URL]? All it states is that the mediaportaldirs.xml must be copied to both PC's. MediaPortal cannot read that from a central place. It must be in the MediaPortal folder. As for the rest, only on one PC. The instructions mention you should copy the database and thumbs to the new shared location. If the existing folders on one PC is used as the new shared location, then there is no need for that. Then you just share the existing location. Both PC's should just point to the same UNC path (\\server\folder) in mediaportaldirs.xml. Yes. Think it is 0.75 but I even used in in 0.72. Back then it was just not possible to create the movie-folder as UNC path, but I think I edited it manually. Must be like this: [ATTACH]46222.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
