Adding a second computer with MC18
« on: April 08, 2013, 03:40:36 pm »

I recently installed MC18 on a computer, and wanted to add my work computer as a second device.  When I downloaded and installed the Media Center bits, it installed on the second computer with C: as the media store.  I use a NAS for media store, not the machine C: drive.

How do  get the second computer MC18 to use the same media store as the first computer?  Are the directions for adding a second computer to use the same media store somewhere and I am not finding them?

Welcome.

You either put your library on the NAS and share it with both computers:

Or you run one computer as a Library Server and connect to it with any number of clients.

Matt,
Thanks.  Where are instructions on using my main server as a library server and accessing from other clients?  Media is all ripped to the NAS in a folder that is shared, but no I see that is not the same as the Library.
