PLEX can do this already.
I run a PLEX Media Server for my android devices, for syncing etc.
Now to have KODI sync with PLEX?

Now you step back from your PC 5 steps and only come back once the feature which is discussed in this thread (syncing kodi with kodi btw) is done and stable. And then you may come back to ask for integration of sync between Kodi and PLEX.
You might have realized that this thread was posted in the Development forum which means its meant to be used by developers and users which are testing this feature and reporting problems. Its no feature request thread.
And the answer is no

Wow, I've been waiting for something like this ever since I tried and failed the MySQL approach. I have 5 RPi's running Kodi but have just bought a Alienware Alpha (AA) gaming computer that I plan to run Kodi on and take one of the RPi's out of the rotation. I have a few questions.
1. Do xbmc favorites transfer to the client?
2. Will Millhouse's load continue to update through OpenElec? Should I turn off auto update?
3. My content is stored on my nas. Will this keep everything synced when the nas is asleep?
4. The RPi's are always on. I was thinking of using the AA as master but I want to power it down when not in use. Should I just use the RPi's as master or am I missing something?
5. I'm currently using xbmc Library Auto Update. Should I continue using it or not? (does this app fulfill it's purpose?)
6. Right now, I just image my master sd card and restore to the other's when needed. My plan was to use the AA as master, setup no sources on the RPi's and use this app to setup all of my sources on the master. (It makes it a little more complicated not using AA as master.) What do you suggest?
Sorry for all of the questions but want to go in prepared.
Thank you.

Hi all.
Before starting to play with this, I want ot be sure that I have understand what UPnP sync can (or can't) do.
First, is UPnP sync is the substitute for Kodi+MySQL ? A headless Kodi running on a small device (NAS or RPi) and sharing sources through UPnP can replace a MySQL server ?
In my house, I have :
- Ready-NAS RN102 for serving files and hosting MySQL DB
- laptop running Kodi and (url=http://kodi.wiki/view/XBNE_Video_Database_Editor]XBNE[/url] for scraping / adding / editing movies, tv shows, ..
- HTPC running OpenELEC 5.0.0 in the living room
- RPi2 running RetroPie in my daughter play room
Movies are separated in 3 categories (Parent's movies, Children's movies, Cartoons) using smart playlists. Parent's movies are only available on HTPC.
With UPnP sync, I will be able to hide parent's movies on RPi2 ?
And what about artworks ? Discart, logo, ... are sync through UPnP ?
Sorry for my english, but, you know, I'm French so ...

This cannot completely replace mySQL yet, but that is the ultimate objective. Having said that, the entire scope available via mySQL is not usually used by some people, ie separate databases for separate profiles etc. So for some of us this media import approach could do it. My sticking point is similar to yours, how do I separate different sections of my library, Kids Movies, Kids Series, Sports, Docu Series etc.
Just curious, how do separate the Parent's Movie using a smart playlist. If like me you use a folder path then, this approach will not do that yet. Montellese has suggested using tags. It could be a lot of work to tag an existing library. My thought is that the solution might be a plugin that tags each item in the library with a source tag such as , Kids Movies, Docu Series, Cartoons, Kids Series etc. Then we could easily make smartplaylist or video nodes that separate them using these tags. If I had such a plugin, I would start using right now.

Oops. Sorry. I'm not a heavy forum user so didn't realize the protocol. Text speak sometimes doesn't come across as intended. Lesson learned. Thanks for the heads up.
