Does anybody know what it would take to sync actual XBMC user settings across multiple devices? I was thinking maybe a symlink to a mounted smb share. Has anyone tried this? I only use XBMCbuntu at my house, so I wouldn't think it would be too tough to mount a share at boot, put my userdata on the share and then symlink from ~/.xbmc/userdata to /mnt/share/userdata, but I was just curious whether anyone had tried this and how successful they were. I also have done a lot of setup for relatives who are setting up multiple boxes in their houses. We've done ATV2 jailbreaks and CrystalBuntu on ATV1 boxes, and I don't even know if those store data in the same place (the Home Directory source didn't contain the same thing in CrystalBuntu that it does in XBMCBuntu). It takes some time to reconfigure XBMC, whatever skin you like, populate your favorites, etc. It would be nice to only have to do it once, and then for changes to be reflected on all f them.
I realize a lot of his will be answered as I play with the other systems a little bit, and perhaps I coud do some trial and error on my own systems as well to see if it even works, I just wondered if anyone else had tried something similar and if they had an stories or tips to share.
Thanks!
