FR: Server - MetaData for DvdInfoCache

[AlwinHummels 134]

On my MBC I use sometimes the info button while I play a movie. So I can than see a overview of the movie that is played this info is from the DvdInfoCache.
 
 
Now I use metabrowser for this info but it would be nice if MBS can do this to. On Metabrowser I gave up the location of my DvdInfoCache wich is saved on a location that I wish.
 
After that I've to do some more stuff on all PC's that are running MBC, sorry it can't be easier ;-)
 
Sharing DvdInfoCache:
The DvdInfoCache folder is used by Win7/Vista’s built in DVD Library as a place to store metadata for your media. Each extender/HTPC will have its own DvdInfoCache folder. A good way to centralize this location (as well as keep each location in sync) is by using Symbolic Links by following these steps: For this tutorial, we will be storing the DvdInfoCache folder on \\Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache

• Create a single DvdInfoCache folder where all of the DVD info files will be stored. (e.g. \\Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache )
• Navigate in Explorer to %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome
• (Optional) Copy over all of your existing DVD info files to your new DvdInfoCache Folder. All of your existing Dvd info files will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome\DvdInfoCache
• Rename folder DVDInfoCache to DVDInfoCache.old (in %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome)
• Open a cmd prompt window. (Start-Run-Type cmd-Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter)
• Type: C:\ (if Windows is installed on your C:\ drive)
• Type: cd %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome
• Type: mklink /D DvdInfoCache “\\Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache“ (Replace \Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache with the actual folder path you created in step 1)

To test if done correctly:

• Create a new folder in \\Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache called “DeleteThisFolder” (Replace \Server\Disk1\DvdInfoCache with the actual folder path you created in step 1)
• Navigate in Explorer to %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome\DvdInfoCache\DeleteThisFolder
• If you can navigate to this folder without any errors, it was successfully setup.
• Remove “DeleteThisFolder”
• Repeat steps 2 thru 8 above for each USER/PC.
