So everyone recommends SMB , i use UPnp because the watched status remains synced.

However with SMB,

Host computer shares video
Client 1 adds source via smb, and the videos watched position etc, only stay on Client 1, they don't update on Host

And client 2 doesn't get the updates either, 

is there anyway to do this? 
Thanks

I meant do this over SMB , MySQL seems complicated.

Either MySQL or something similar like Emby at the only way to do it.

The SMB is just the media source route, all of the databases (where the watched status and position etc are stored) are local. The MySQL set-up is designed to enable a common single database which can be shared by devices.
