I have a few XBMC boxes set up in the house. I've got the libraries in a central MySQL database on the file server which serves the media files, and now I'm trying to keep all the fan art in sync with Unison.
My own XBMC (ryan-htpc) and the server have the same thumbnails currently. However, I am running into some strange issues after I added a new movie and had XBMC scrap for the media info -- this should mean that there is new data on the 'client' and the server needs to be updated. So, I run this command on the client:
(Note, the user on the server is 'xbmc' while the user on the client is 'ryan')
This doesn't do anything, as the output shows:
However, if I run the command from the server, it shows that there are now new files (due to me adding a new movie to the library), and it want to update:
This doesn't make much sense to me... What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to find much info on this...
EDIT: I fixed it by deleting the archives in ~/.unison. This made the program think it was a brand new archive. I must have confused it somehow when figuring it out the first time. =)
