[QUOTE="Brocklander, post: 38579, member: 10390"] You can't make your Recorded TV directory pick up files from another computer, but you can add a network share to My Videos that will automatically show any files that are added or removed. Yes, the same thing will work for Pictures and Music. As a crude workaround for viewing live TV, you can use [url=https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=12122]AutoDVRConvert[/url]. This creates an MPG file as you record a program, and can be viewed while it's still being created with VLC, which effectively means you're watching a live TV stream (you can pause, rewind etc in it too). Unfortunately as WMP won't let you view a file that is still being created, you can't watch it in Media Portal. We use it to watch live and recorded programs on other computers, and it's especially great as half our computers are Apple Macs and can't open DVR-MS files. You should also be able to play these MPG files on your Xbox (maybe live like in VLC?), as this is what the creator of AutoDVRConvert made the program for. [/QUOTE]
