I would really like to use the media server method for accessing media, if possible, and I need some ideas/assistance.
First, I want to have 4 separate libraries with their own playlists, play counts, ratings, etc. But, I would like the same database of songs/pictures/video, if possible. That information remains constant for everyone involved (4). I think it would be great if I could run the server on my server and then connect to it from my other computers. Also, I do not want to save ratings in the files. Is there a quick way to remove this option. I know you can get to it through the settings page, but that's a lot of digging because I need to do it on a lot of accounts. This might mean that I would have to run 4 instances on my server, however, if I need a separate running instance of MC for each user. That would mean I would have to log on to each account, switch user, and start it on the other 3 accounts, too. That would be quite strange and a pain to setup if I need to restart the server. Would one running instance somehow let me have multiple user dependent material? If not, I'm going to return to my old method of just storing the library database on the server and selecting it from each user account.
