I recently moved all my media to a hp microserver n54l running windows server 2012, which is awesome I can stream from any device using shared & upnp/dlan, But I want to Beef this up and have the XBMC Library hosted on the server with all the media too, So I can use xbmc clients to connect to the server. I found this method for setting up the database in MYSQL http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ab=Windows.
Since I need to create a library from scratch, would I just install XBMC on the server and run all media into it as usual, then export into the MYSQL database? then somehow connect other devices to this? Theres no explanation on the Wiki for this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ng_up_XBMC
Then how do I connect other devices?
I also came across this web interface to manage everything http://htpc.io can I install this on the server too? Or are there better alternatives?
