I have read this thread with great interest and I am wondering as to how well it works? I am currently using mysql and nfs-shares to synchronize my library to multiple xbmc-clients. My first thought was just simply to install this on the server (runs on ubuntu) to keep the library updater automatically, but then I started thinking that maybe it would be better to scrap the mysql+nfs-combination and simply let the xbmc-server share it's database through upnp?
Edit: Just read that the upnp thingy is not yet finished and that the watched-flags and so on won't sync correctly. They also said that they still recomment mysql, so I guess that I'll continue to use mysql+nfs for the time being. I'm still interested in the xbmc-server for automatically updating the library though. Can I set the xbmc-server to automatically update the library at certain times? Maybe by a cron-job via the terminal?
Yes, cron is possible and the way to go.. When Frodo is ready, UPNP and this headless approach is a killer combo to fill your library automaticly (scraping) and sharing over multiple devices (UPNP).
