I've been using XBMC for just myself for a couple of years now. I don't have much experience with profiles, which may be the way to go here. I also have no experience with smart playlists. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I've got a PC that functions as a server and my HTPC. It stores all of my files and I have it setup to automatically retrieve new content and automatically update my XBMC library as content gets processed. It works great.
However, I'm adding a second (and potentially third) HTPC to the network for family. Something lightweight, like a Raspberry Pi. Each HTPC will basically be for a single person and they will have their own personal content that I would like to keep separate from mine (I'm anal about my stuff, they're not). I'm comfortable sharing library and backed SQL services, and have done that via advancedsettings.xml.
My question is, how do I/is there a way to set this up where:
1) Each person has their own library
2) Each person has access to the main library
3) Library updates are still as automated and centralized as possible
