Both frontends need to point to the *exact* same location. If you're like me where one of your frontends is also your backend and where the videos are stored, just create a symlink from the real directory to where the other frontend mounts the videos and the change the location of where the frontend on the backend mounts the videos like so: Backend/Local frontend Real location: /videos Symlinked: /videos -> /mnt/videos Remote frontend: Mounted location: /mnt/videos All frontends need to know about where the video locations are because the path to the videos and the associated IMDB stuff (covers, director, summary) is coded into the mythconverg database. <snippety> >Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? > Nope, I don't think this is specifically documented anywhere.
