I just decided I'd like to watch a tv show in bed, on my Macbook.
XBMC is installed on Win7 based HTPC in my living room. For storage, an eSATA drive is attached to my HTPC.
Now I can access files on that HTPC via wifi on my Macbook, but I want the XBMC interface. So I did this:
1. installed XBMC on my Macbook
2. zipped the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\portable_data\userdata but excluded the Thumbnails folder because it was 1.5GB
3. extracted the contents of the zipfile to my Macbook in Library>Application Support>XBMC>Userdata
4. modified the starting path in sources.xml file on Macbook (simply replaced S:\ for correct SMB paths).
Then I opened XBMC on Mac and it runs fine with the same settings, did had to download my skin again, but everything else is fine.
Except for... Logos! Ofcourse the logo.png files are still present in each tv show folder, but the path is probably incorrect. Where is the path to tv show logos stored?
Also.. isn't there an easier method to share (and sync) the thousands of thumbnails? Because I dont have any picture/fanart now on my Macbook now.. really dont want to do a full library scan..
