Question. I was under the impression I could use upnp on gotham and add a source and have it scrape movies like if i had a local source or mysql (set content). Is that not the case? I thought for some reason in gotham that was a feature. I am on the latest nightly and it doesnt work that way currently.
My plan was to be able to ditch mysql and just use upnp and have the watched labels and resume work but add the sources to movies and tv shows as upnp.

Currently you have to fake it with
custom home items (wiki), but this is coming in the future where UPnP sources can mesh with the local library.

UPnP sources showing up in the "native" local client library will be after Gotham, but if you use a skin that does custom home items then you really can't tell much of a difference. UPnP is what I've been using.

You mean to trigger updating the library remotely? I just use the smartphone official (and probably in the third party ones) XBMC remote app to trigger the update for the other XBMC instance. You can also schedule updates on the UPnP host XBMC.

Yes
Yes, but sometimes a given few seems to get "cached", like the watched ticks don't always update right away for me, but I think that is a bug on my network where it is not getting the UPnP update announcements.
UPnP pulls posters and fanart from the "host" XBMC machine. I think it also caches the images, but I don't know exactly how that all works out.
