Photos and the bathroom - Darkfall - 2010-11-15
Superorb Wrote:^^ Yeah, I think photos are required in your case
Bathroom setups are pretty moot for me since I want to get in/out to get back to what I was watching on the big screen. Do you have everything run from a single database so you can leave 1 room and pick up where you left off in another room? Pretty elaborate.
I'll get some photos together as soon as I can. I actually watch movies and TV while sitting in the jet tub - so no rush to get in and out and back to the living room.
The XBMC boxes aren't aware of each other - they all just get their media from the same server. So, they all see the same music, movies, and TV shows, but they don't synchronize watched data or remember where I was when I stopped watching a show in another room.
I did find that running around the house, telling all the boxes to update their library was a pain in the butt - until I started using Ember Media Manager and the XBMC plug in. With the plug in, I can have EMM scrape the new show, then click to have all of the XBMC boxes update automatically right from inside EMM. Very nice - saves me a ton of time.

A centralized DB could be a solution for you (Read this topic, or make a search about "mysql" )

Also you could look at this article on Lifehacker..

I don't have photos on hand, but I could take some if people want to see stuff - just let me know what you want to see in the pictures, and I'll snap a few shots.

Some pictures would indeed be nice, especially of the bathroom setup!

That is a very interesting read. I only have one PC setup at the moment running XBMC from the HD (a Revo). I am toying with getting a 2nd one for the bedroom, and the solution you sent seems like an easier way to go in setting these up.
Thanks for the tip.;
