Hello,
I run XBMC on multiple machines and would like to share Icefilms favorites between them. In another post, someone suggested using a symlink. I assume what they meant was make a symlink from Machine B that points to Machine A's Favorites folder? In this case, Machine A would always have to be on, correct?
I'd like to have both Machine A and Machine B both point to Machine C, which is my backend server that is always on. I'm thinking that it's possible but I'm just not exactly sure how to go about setting it up. Any suggestions?
Another idea I had was to use SyncToy to keep Machine A and Machine B's Favorites folders in sync. But again, my frontend machines hibernate when not in use. Schedule a task to wake them up and sync?
Just want to bounced some ideas off you guys...
Any feedback will be appreciated!
