I know that you can set up everything to run via SQL.... but is there a better and easier way?

MY GOAL - Have my media library (with images and information) available on two separate instances of KodiBuntu.

I've added in the one instance of Kodi as a media source on the second but this doesn't allow direct access. I'd really like for everything on the second instance to show up under the TV shows and movie sections.

Is this possible?
Is this easy to do?

Easiest way would be MySQL (wiki). Depends a bit, where you data is hosted.

If you host your Data on your Kodibuntu system, I guess it´s possible to share those folders by creating SMB or NFS shares and use those shares on another Kodibuntu client. But therefore you still have to scrape them twice. Except you try to export your library to seperate files and use NFO_files (wiki) for the other client.
