I am currently upgrading to Eden Beta 1 and I'm wondering whether it is now possible to update the library without having a profile logged in.

Background
I am living in a sharehouse with multiple TVs/computers and we use MySQL database to enable to enable each of my housemates to access the media from a central repository. Unfortunately it appears that under Dharma, each profile needed their own database, otherwise watched tags weren't correctly attributed to a profile. Further I have the main TV configured to log a profile out if it is idle, so although SickBeard and Couchpotato can update the library they can only do so for the active profile - hence automatic library updates don't work.

Updating the Library
So is it now possible to update the library for each profile without first logging into the profile. Alternatively, can a single MySQL database be used that correctly tracks watched flags for multiple profiles?

It's been a couple of weeks without a reply so BUMP!

No. The updating is done by XBMC, and it will only update the database for whatever profile it's using.

I vaguely recall some discussion of handling the watched flags in a miultiprofile setup, but I can't remember the outcome. I don't think Eden will be able to maintain watched tags on a per-profile basis, though I wouldn't swear to that.

Perhaps an admin account need to be created so 1 account can control all of them.

Can you elaborate on this ?
