[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 505705, member: 53076"] Hope [URL="http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8042/tvserieslocalpaths.png"]this image[/URL] clarifies what I am meaning. I can see the default paths but cannot adjust them. What I am trying to ask, & not very clearly, is why is it not possible to utilise the existing, default thumbs & database paths, in the Documents & settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal folder by making them accessible to network share. Then use the mediaportaldirs.xml in a manually setup config folder in the same path, which points to the default folders' paths. Or have you totally deleted the original thumbs/database paths & just have the network share ones? ie. thumbs folder = Documents & settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\thumbs database folder = Documents & settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\database config folder = Documents & settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\config and: mediaportaldirs.xml paths are adjusted to point to the above & the modified file is copied into the mediaportal root folder in each client machine. Otherwise, I do not see how the remote network share folder, comprising thumbs\database & config, are automatically updated when you add media files. Where on your HTPC do you have your client share? Inside the Mediaportal folder? On the same hard-drive or partition? Or totally separate? Reason I ask, I originally had it in my backup area which is on another partition, but after setting up the client share & adjusting the mediaportaldirs.xml file, my scheduled programmes would not record until I rebooted. Have reset back to original file until I can work it out. Yes. Got that working just after posting. Should have been a little more persistant before letting my fingers do the walking :oops: :thx:again. [/QUOTE]
