bit confused? i thought mysql server was the answer to this question from googling around on it myself over the last few days?
i did until this thread think that you could do this:
have lets say a master pc with xbmc installed where you manually import new movies and fan art / thumbs.. it will be the very same pc you remux on for example the home workstation if you will
then have the 'thumbnails' folder on that pc (be it win7 or linux) copy to your main NAS/SERVER share (perhaps auto but to be safe maybe when your happy you manually copy it yourself)
then because you have setup your live nodes (living room xbmc, bedroom xbmc, kitchen xbmc, bathroom xbmc, tree house xbmc
) to all talk to the MySQL server AKA your NAS/SERVER they would pull down the thumbs / fanart / folder structure the whole job lot. Surley they would still show all the content there downloaded to the client/node even if the remote hosts actual files weren't there? or is that the key (and frankly derp reason) that this doesn't work as of 11? i.e it doesn't store locally the thumbnail folder even when synced mysql? if not then is all the mysql bit does is point to a share?.. no that cant be right.. erg confused
please clarify i must be missing something, it doesn't seem hard so far.
