Greetings,

Here is my scenario:

I have a primary server with Media Center on it being controlled by MainLobby/MusicLobby tablets throughout the house for distributed audio.
All audio files are on a shared NAS array

Making playlists from the tablets is not simple
Going down to the server room to make playlists is simply not practical

So, I want to be able to make a playlist from the office PC and save it to the primary server so it automatically shows up on the MusicLobby tablets. I've tried variations of LibraryServer/Client and these don't seem to solve the problem at all. In a library server/client config I made a playlists on the client and exported it to a shared "playlists" folder that the server monitors. There are several problems with this latter setup
Autoimport does not seem to be automatically picking up the playlists
When a playlist created by an client is imported manually at the server side it duplicates the song entries in the master library...thereby corrupting it. I don't want duplicate songs...just the friggin playlist of what songs to play.


It can't be this difficult can it? How is everyone else sharing playlists across their networks?

Kevin, did you ever get a resolution to this?  I've got the same problem.

Yeah, me too, the client-server-setup si a bit hampered by the fact the you generally cannot do much changes on the server-side from the client. And doing stuff on the server is not a good solution.
