I have one Server (17.0.050) sharing movies/music with several client machines throughout my house. Call this server "HTPC1".
Then I have another computer running the same MC software but setup as a "stand alone" because it has a TV capture card, so it can't be a client to HTPC1. Call this one HTPC2.
The stand-alone (HTPC2) imports (streams) all the movies and music from the server (HTPC1). All of the actual files (movies/music/images) are stored on drives in HTPC1.
I spent a lot of time downloading and tweaking cover art, views, and tv series "episode descriptions" on HTPC1. I don't want to do all the work again on HTPC2. How can I copy all the file info/tags/etc. from one computer to the other? Basically, I want both machines to have the same Library info and file/tag info - excep that HTPC2 has a Capture Card (and therefore its own TV Guide data so some of the TV related settings/views are different so it can't be an exact copy of HTPC1).
Also, Can I share the field "Watched" or "Last Played" data between computers in real time (auto updating) - so if I watch a TV episode on HTPC1 it would show the same Watched or Last pLayed "date" on HTPC2?
Can this be done?
Thanks.
