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.
