Hi,

I have an HTPC running MC22.

I also have a cheap laptop that I use for all sort of stuff. I see in the FAQ it's ok to install MC on more than one computer and I have never "tried" to.

I have a question tho... Can I use the main library from the HTPC ? ... And, how is that done? ... If I could maintain the library of the HTPC remotely using the laptop then that's great as I'm not always up for turing on the projector which is the only display for the main computer.

You will want to enable Library Server and enable authentication (which will enable your client laptop to edit the library).
