Hey everyone,
have been working on getting my xbmc boxes (3 of them) to sync via mysql on a windows home server that has all my media. I believe i have finally gotten it working on the first box, i have all the databases populated with my media info, but i was wondering how i get it to sync with my other machines. I have done fresh installs of eden on the other 2 HTPCs and am just assuming i need to put the info into the advancedsettings.xml file. The initial machine i got it working on is a windows box, the other 2 are XBMCbuntu. I have made the necessary changes to the xml files on the other 2 boxes, but i haven't setup a library yet and i haven't restarted them to start using the file. Do i need to setup my SMB shares and have them scan for media to populate the library? or does it just get the info it needs from the mysql server that is dictated in the advancedsettings.xml file?
Just want to make sure I get this right cause i've been fighting trying to get this to work for 2 days.
