Fundamentally, what I'm trying to achieve is the following: I would like to have multiple users access to a central media library, with each user having their own watched/etc. status for each entry in the library. Ideally if something is added to the library, it would show up automatically for each user.
I understand there is a myriad number of ways for sharing the files: http, smb, nfs, etc., etc.
What has me stumped is how to share the metadata without requiring each user to scrape the library on their own ? Is this even possible ?
I have the inkling that this is a task for UPnP, but is there some description how metadata can be shared through it, if at all ?
I have also seen there is some MySQL backend support in Kodi, but I understood that by using this, the watched lists are also shared, and such it wouldn't work for my case. Is this correct ?
