Title: Media Server statistics
Post by: adamsp70 on May 10, 2004, 03:29:37 pm

I have a main server running MC as Media Server and a satellite PC running MC as a client - everything works great.

However i'd really like the stats (recently played, top hits etc) on both machines to be calculated from what has been played on BOTH machines.

Is this possible at all?

Not at this point in time, but hopefully this will change.

Currently the Media Server gets nothing recorded back to it from the client (it is read-only you might say).

I think JRiver might include this ability in some future version, but it requires a new database engine, to make it possible for multiple clients to be updating the Media Server simultaneously.

That's a shame - even a "sync stats now" button to do it when both players are idle would be better than nothing - and that would bypass the concurrency problem....

Darn this would be a nice feature! :)

John, you could have my firstborn in exchange.  Tho' maybe a better motivation would be to say that I'd send if you DON'T do this. :)
