[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1285336, member: 153283"] Well, I'm really perplexed. I was under the impression that MP1 was a client-server model system. See below: [ATTACH]209033[/ATTACH] Please look under TV Setup, because I am seeing entries for 'Server Setup' and 'Client Setup', and I've been using them for years. I first spotted this issue when I started to use the system but let it lie, because I suspected my suggestion wouldn't go down well. I, as a developer, tend to push systems to their limits. In this case I use the central configuration paradigm with four clients and one server. I can only say that whenever I use MediaPortal Configuration to add movies to VideoDatabaseV5, I do so with dread, because I can never be sure which file in 'files' the system will add the 'movieinfo' data to. On several occasions it has linked the 'movieinfo' data to TV programs rather than the intended movie. I contend that this is happening because there is a cyclic relationship in the design as the entity model demonstrates. I don't expect anyone to change a design when they don't appreciate what is wrong with it in the first place. So, I'll leave it at that. Tony [/QUOTE]
