However, if you're using the standard XBMC database (and not the external mySQL option). EMM has a really cool module you can add (XBMC Controller) that will automatically initiate an "update library" on any XBMC machine. Even cooler, it also has an option to perform "real-time synchronization". IMHO this is an awesome feature and is exactly what you want if you're editing nfos for movies you already scanned in your library. With this option EMM will make the change directly to the db and the edited info will be reflected in XBMC immediately without any further actions. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the mySQL database option that I (and others) am using to act as a central database serving multiple XBMC machines throughout my house.
