2 Installs, 2 Libraries same media files - synch of library tags

--- Quote from: David Sydney on May 06, 2023, 02:53:58 am ---If I have an installation running on 2 different PCs at once - that point to the same set of media files on a network drive. Is there a way to prevent the need to modify library tags twice in each library. These 2 instances of MC are not running at the same time usually so are not on the network at a point in time to make one a remote of the other. Currently if I import a music video file on one of the MC installs, and then manipulate the tags to clean up the file, for media type, genre, albums etc. I have to do the same on the other library to keep things in synch?

I have this exact layout - one master FLAC library on the network that is accessed by two installs:

1. On my personal PC that I use as the Master Editor for all tags, naming, album art, adds, deletes etc

2. The other instance runs on my media PC as Media Server and vacuums up any and all tag changes, adds, deletes, reorgs, new album art etc on the fly from the master library.

This is really the only way to avoid having to manually update two libraries. One (server instance) really needs to be treated as "play only" and be able to update itself round the clock 24x7x365.

Have done it this way for over 7 years now. Works perfectly.

Cheers
