This is my setup.

It works reasonably well. I can stop in one room and play in another no problem. I can update on the main HTPC and it will show up and play in the bedroom.

But I cannot do an update from the bedroom OpenElec which is really annoying. When I try to it ignores the path substitutions and scans/adds media from /var/media/.. which of course is adding duplicates as the HTPC library is based on /media/... and /home/user/some-media.

I can't help but feel that it isn't optimal and is kind of screwed.

I guess I realize I could start my library over again and base it on the /var/media directories on both machines. But is that the best setup or am I missing something?
