I am kind of new user, and evaluating 4.1 latest build.
I have MM installed on desktop PC in living room, and another installed on a Win8.1 laptop in basement as a full-blown "remote control" with all MM features/UI to play to a DLNA device. I would like to keep a single library on the desktop PC, and be able to load it remotely on the laptop MM. I want to use the laptop MM UI to browse the desktop library (instead of browsing through the Media share structure). As far as I can tell, there is not a way to do this.
On laptop I pointed to the Media Server share (desktop) to get library content, but this causes a new library built on the laptop and it tries to monitor the desktop library Media share content regularly.
Is there any way to remotely load /access a library on one MM install from another MM install, without having to rebuild/duplicate library?
Probably I am not familiar enough with MM yet to understand the library access.
