Re: Help - multipple BTV Help - multiple BTV servers and BTVLink clients
I'm assuming that Nanook has configured his multiple servers with file sharing on their video folders and then each BTV server has the other BTV server's folders available as one of their video folders. In this case, you could connect to any of the servers, via Link, and see all available programming.
This is what I did a few years ago. I had two BTV server setups. Each had its own video folder and then had the other server's video folder mapped as a network drive. This worked fine for watching pre-recorded shows, but you couldn't view a show that was in the progress of recording.

I really, really wish that Beyond TV had the networked-encoding concept built into its structure, like MythTV does (multiple servers, multiple clients, once common scheduling database.) This increases the complexity of multiple server scenarios, but it offers a TON of new capabilities, features, and savings.
