I built an HTPC last week, and started using XBMC on Windows 7 on this machine (sitting in the living room plugged into the HDTV). Myself and my roomates would like to be able to basically be able to stream all of the content running on this machine on our computers/phones though.
It wouldn't be a problem just to do clean installs of XBMC on each machine, then setup the Source's pointing to Network Shares on the Primary HTPC. However, I would like to keep them in sync, so it looks the same as the Primary HTPC (same skin, same addons, etc).
What is the best way for me to deploy XBMC on other machines, and Synchronize them with the Primary? I will be setting up the MySQL Powered Synchronization from Lifehacker tonight, but just wanted to get a better idea first.
