I'm having a hard time locating the specifics of what using a centralized databases (MySQL in this case) offers you when dealing with multiple XBMC devices.
What info is actually kept in the MySQL database?

Thanks, that's what I was trying to determine. The database schema has a field for Thumbnails in the movie table, but only Fan Art URL. So I wasn't sure if thumbnails where kept in the DB or it was also a URL.
A related question. I'm using EMM-r to pre-fetch thumbnails, fanart, and generate NFO. When XBMC scrapes and reads the NFO, then populate info into the Movie DB, I assume it's simply populating the Thumbnail and Fanart fields with a path to where the files are kept with the movie itself on my NAS?
Thus, what I'm ultimately trying to confirm, is that with MySQL, and my use of EMM-R< each XBMC device is not caching any local images/file info?
