XMM works fine over the network, as long as the network or nasdrives are mapped. It does not work when the network place is entered (eg :\\192.168.0.4\shared) I think this needs to be looked at, since it is a pain to map drives, and keep them mapped on reboot, in VISTA.
Also, adding files from another computer, results that every existing file is duplicated for some reason.
Another (unrelated bug) is that the item -checking for duplicates- does NOT seem to be working in the thumbnail view. This was reported a month or two ago, and I cannot believe that I am the only one.

Try to copy all the XMM files sitting in users/documents/etc to a network drive, and open XMM, then change database which started up from a computer to the same database which was copied to the network drive. I have Vista, 1200 movies in the database, Synology diskstaton network drive (2TB Raid), connected to router, etc, and XMM reports that it cannot find the database on the network drive, and loads the example db. However, when I map this network drive (eg Z:), and all works fine. I cannot figure out why, since z:\ , should refer to the network place \\192.186.x.x\shared\movies..
Also, when I update XMM with another computer from the same network drive, xmm must sense a different network address somewhere, and sees 1200 new movies it has never seen before for some reason, and starts updating the lot. In this case I end up with 1200 new entries, all being duplicates.., in total 2400 !
Hopefully there is a network drive around at your place to try this. I have this setup with some wifi mediaplayers without any harddrive, and for several tvīs and it streams pretty good, any movie to any tv simultanously without any computer running. That could be another extension for XMM, showing indexes from xxm shared drives to TV, so xmm shows up on tv. I tried troubled Media Center, but it shows an index or 5 per screen, and finding a movie is, at best, pretty troublesome.
In any case, your attention to bugs etc. is appriciated.

Hi,
What is exactly the problem with Network? I have manually add a PC on my network in the file "configuration\FolderList.txt" (that is the file that contains the folder to lookup in the FileMonitor). XMM detect the new files correctly without problems.
Please let me know,
Alessio |
