will this sync both ways?? server <---> client? or will it only sync info from server to client?

It is a one way sync Server --> Client.

The idea being that you only add data, (rss entries, new add-ons, new sources, library updates) on the Server and this changes get propagated to all the clients.

Well i usually use my atv2 more than my home theater since my atv2 are in bedrooms and living rooms in house. Have you tested this on atv2. Can an atv2 be a server? How would the sources work if my atv2 uses smb paths and my home theater pc actually has the files on it.

I'm not trying to be negative here but why don't you just try it? It is a regular xbmc addon so there isn't any reason it won't run on an appletv. Worst case scenario you get some errors and can report back here, this is a beta after all. The server install is best done on an install of xbmc that is a) on a lot of the time and b) the only one you run library updates on.

In regards to the smb paths. I'm assuming you are using the advancedsettings.xml file to map directories like special://home to network shares here? If that is the case on the "server" install you'll most likely get an error as it uses the os python module which only knows how to parse local paths. Maybe DecK can jump in here but I think the point to this addon is to not have to use path substitution and instead allow your addons, thumbnails, etc to remain local (and load faster) via the local path.

Service has been working great for me (continually,two weeks ,several clients).

Will you be submitting the add-on to the official repository?

I got this to work once, but everytime since then I get the script failed error on XBMC startup. Here is part of the log:

Not actively right now, way too busy in the real world. I hope to get back to it in the next week or two, to address some of the outstanding issues. At that point I will be submitting it to the official repository. In the mean time, please feel free to branch the code and submit back any changes to me in Github.

Looking forward - this has a ton of promise; thumbnail sharing on a Shared-Library setup, for instance, is a vast performance enhancer...

Great job so far, man!

Hey there!

In first, thank you for this addon!

One Question: In the register "schedule" there is an option called "next run". How to enable it? Or is this a feature-to-come?

Greetings to all
Tobi
