XBMC over LAN
#1
Hey all, after using Plex to try to broadcast my media over the internet, i later found out that even when i am on my local network, it has to go out to the internet then back in, which ended up causing some lags when watching. So i was wondering, i'm eventually going to have a computer hooked up to each TV in the house, either via ethernet or wireless, so how can i tie the library i have with my main machine across all of the others in the house? Also, would it be possible to watch something on one, then something on another?

You can sync multiple libraries from XBMC using MySQL which can be read about here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._libraries (also a guide from lifehacker here: http://lifehacker.com/5634515/how-to-syn...-the-house)

If you want to watch 2 videos at the same time from the same NAS then as long as your network/NAS can handle the output I don't see why it wouldn't work.
