I am just getting into XBMC and have set it up on two computers (one in the living room, one in the bedroom). I am changing a lot of settings getting everything just how I wanted, but I know, with all the checking of this option and the unchecking of that, I'm never going to get the settings exactly the same between the two.
I was wondering if there would be a way to simply sync the appdata between these two (using any of a number of syncing programs) and what problems I may run into if I were to try that.
Both machines are running Windows 7 and both have the same user names, but the actual video files will be stored on one machine and the other would be accessing them off the network. I have read into the MySQL solution to syncing some of the databases, but as far as I could tell that didn't sync the program settings. I'm not sure how the appdata is formatted and whether the information is fully qualified (for the lack of a better term I'm using control engineering talk) or if this would totally jack up both computer's appdata (for the lack of a better term... again).
Thoughts?
