I would like to see a feature to sync defined media-files to my mobile device.
For example:
I use XBMC on some clients in my home.
The media files are located on a NAS.
My mobile device (Android, iOS, Win8-Tablet, ...) connects via WiFi to my XBMC-Database (MySQL, UPNP) or just uses a local database to play files on my NAS.
Since mobile devices are created to be mobile, I would like to watch/listen content on the go.
Maybe while traveling by train.
In this case I get the metadata on my device, but cannot connect to my NAS at home, of cause.
It would be greate if I could sync my favorite media files to my mobile device.
Like I "pin" my mp3s in Google Music.
Befor I go out of my house I could select some movies or a TV-season and XBMC creates a local copy of this content on my mobile device.
To complete this feature XBMC should be able to "back-sync" some metadata when I am back home.
Like setting the "watched"-flag for the movie I just finished on the train.
I know this might be a complicate feature to develope.
But this could be a really big step to make XBMC the "ONE" media-player on every platform.
What do you think?
