OK, I've been a fan of Meedio but I think it is time to give it up. My biggest problem is that I have to manage the video and music listings on each seperate box. If I add a new movie and it doesn't pull up the cover art jpg correctly, I have to then make the changes in the configuration program on each computer.
What I want is a "server/client" type of frontend. I want to be able to set it up on the server and configure all the movie/music/picture databases from that box, and then the client systems will just pull that information without having to do any extra configuration on them.
Basically, if I want to add a new DVD to my hard drive, I just sit in the office, rip the disk, add it to the database (while still sitting in the office), and at most just have to restart the frontend app on the client system.
Does this make sense Can Mediaportal (or some other frontend application) do this? Or am I out of luck?
