Ok, so here's what should be a pretty basic question, but right now my test rig is at work and I haven't had time to play with networked PCs at home yet because we just moved.
Up until this point, I've been running a Zacate based HTPC on my plasma. Windows 7 64-bit with MediaBrowser/WMC as my front end. The HTPC rarely gets brought out of WMC to the desktop. We have several other computers in the house for computer stuff, so the HTPC is just for video.
When I rip movies and whatnot, I push them to the HTPC from my Z68 rig over the network and Homegroup shared directories. Say I rip a couple of movies to their proper folders on the HTPC, all I need to do is back out of MediaBrowser via remote (the keyboard is rarely used too) and back into MediaBrowser and the new media is there for play. This is really nice when my 4-year-old is waiting for me to get content pushed.
What I HAVEN'T been able to play around with yet with JRiver is can I do the same thing with MC? Can I push video or audio to the HTPC where JRiver is running and have it show up, or do I need to exit TheaterView and run an Auto-Import or something like that? I have my video broken into Kids Movies, DVD Movies, etc via Genre, so they all show up where I want them to in the menu. Is it possible to remotely control the library or would I need to do it via keyboard/mouse on the HTPC?
