This sounds so awesome! keep up the good work. I currently use XBMC as clients connect to my central server, but being able to manage the metadata / media via an html5 interface is exactly what I have been looking for and couldn't find. I did not want to use Plex since I don't want everything to go through their servers with logins. This sounds perfect. Is there an e-mail list we could subscribe to, to be notified when the linux server is ready?
In what language is the linux server being developed? Seeing as my server runs on FreeBSD with ZFS?

Have to say this works extremely well; overall MediaBrowser3 really compliments my XBMC setups.
I have XBMC running on my existing devices (via OpenELEC on my Pi's and low-powered x86 boxes); and MB3 covering surface-area not already covered by XBMC (tablets/roku/web access/mobile phones/etc).
The combination is extremely satisfying. Very nice indeed.
'Watched-status' sync is handled by the Trakt plugin, which works excellently on both XBMC and MB3.
One question: if I make a change to metadata in MB3 (which produces a new XBMC NFO file), how do I push that change to XBMC? (ie, have XBMC 'know' to re-import the changed NFO file, without removing/re-adding the media item?)

I have been using this tool for a while now. MediaBrowser 3 is quick and efficient in obtaining the metadata and writing the data. I was using Media Center Master previously as I hadn't found a good compromise with the scrapers in XBMC. This has replaced that. Mediabrowser also scrapes Music, Artists and Albums to a high degree of efficiency. Using the Roku and iPhone apps, I am able to get my media out to clients throughout the house while still using XBMC as well, albeit with an Addon that allows me to syncronize with the Server. However I could access my library directly if I chose to as all the metadata including fanart is already made available..
The centralized server aspects of MediaBrowser3, multiple clients and XBMC are a godsend to me. I can custom tailor delivery as needed.

I'm trying to install the server on my Windows 8.1 PC but the setup fails with an error. I keep getting "An error occurred trying to download 'http://www.mb3admin.com/downloads/beta/server/MediaBrowser.Server.Installer.application'." When I go to that address in Chrome, it works fine. Not sure why it wont work through the exe. I also tried to change the firewall settings but no luck. My temp drive is not on my C: if that matters. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
