I'm running Atlantis final on three Ubuntu 8.04 machines that stream video from a central server mounted on the clients using samba.
I want to be able to scan the videos on a single client and have the information updated on all three clients. It seems like a reasonable way to do this is to make the MyVideos34.db a symlink and keep the actual database file on the central server.
This seems to work, but I wondered if all the video information (posters, etc.) are contained in the database, or if I need to share other files/directories as well. In particular, does the Thumbnails directory need to be shared? I don't know if those files are downloaded by the scraper or if they are generated by xbmc.
I'm also wondering if there is any state information stored in MyVideos32.db that might cause problems if that database is shared.
Any thoughts or information? Thanks.
