WHS, Sage PC, HD200 install

[cjalphonso]

Trying to install, here is my setup:
WHS used for storing all of my movies (does not run Sagetv)
Sage PC=Dedicated window 7 PC- running sagetv v7
2 hd200's to view all content.

I installed WHS version of my movies on the WHS
I installed media collector server/client on the dedicated PC
I installed both the general plugin and the ui plugin.

Everything is all garbled and no pictures seen.
Should I uninstall the WHS and only install my movies on the dedicated pc?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

No the way you are doing it is fine. You should not have to install the ui seperate. Is this your first install?

Ps why don't you run sage on the whs out o curiosity? Your extenders using mymovies will be a bit slower with the mymovies server not being local but not big difference.

This is my first install
The UI did not install (not in menu nor in the plugin manager) with the general plugin so I installed the UI manually, then it showed up.
The install seemed to work ok on the dedicated pc, but did not show up properly on the hd200. It found the text info, but would not pull in any of the pictures.
I'm running windows 7 and using the uac, should I just nix the uac?
Also I told my movies to download the 1080 versions, my tv is not 1080, would this cause any problems?

I was thinking, maybe I should uninstall all the my movies stuff and then reinstall the my movies on the dedicated pc and not use the WHS for the server. That way the my movies server and the SageTV server would be on the same machine?

I don't use the WHS because
1. One of my tuners is an hauppauge, although not my main tuner anymore.
2. The WHS is an HPMediasmart 487 machine and I thought I would need more horsepower than it could provide, although I could be wrong?

I really want to get this going, thanks for all of your help.

Just reporting back here. Last night, after several reboots on both the WHS and the SageTV PC everything started working correctly. So to sum up for other people, here is my setup.
I installed "My Movies for Windows Home Server" on my WHS (HPMediasmart x487) and got it running and showing data correctly.
I installed the "My Movies Collection Management" on my SageTV V7 PC and pointed it to the WHS database.
I installed the "My Movies" plugin from the General tab of the plugin manager.
(This for some reason did not install the "My Movies UI" interface)
I installed the "My Movies UI" interface manually from the UI mod tab of the plugin manager.
(at this point it did not work correctly)
I shut everything down and powered everything off. Then everything seemed to work.

Hope this helps someone else with an install similar to mine.

Thanks Plucky for you help.

The reason you had to install them both is because you really only need to install the UI that will force the install of the general and dependencies

Ah, now I see it in your wiki, makes sense now
In' the wiki I was confused a little by this statement:

"IMPORTANT: MyMovies must be installed as a server where the Sagetv server is running. On any client install of SageTV, MyMovies client must be installed. "

It led me to believe, in my type of setup, I would have to install the server on the same machine as the SageTV server. I did not have to do this, I only needed to install the "My Movies Collection Manager" on the Sagetv server and the My Movies server could reside somewhere else.
Thanks again.
