I've spent some hours now on getting this to work - with only partial luck so far, and wanted to hear if someone has a solution.
I've installed MySQL on a laptop running Windows 7 x64 for the sole purpose of synchronizing XBMC's library between my home computers.
I've followed this guide (similar to the one Lifehacker posted in 2010):

In the living room I have a PC running Ubuntu 10.4 with XBMC 10.1
In the bedroom I have another PC running XBMClive 10.1
In the office i have Mac with XBMC 10.1 and a 2 PCs running Windows 7 x64 with XBMC 10.1
Synchronization works between both Linux PCs and the Mac, and sync also works between both Windows PCs.
However, the sync doesn't work between the windows PCs and the Linux/Mac machines.
All computers have the stable version 10.1 installed, all share the same advancedsettings.xml and sources.xml and all are accessing media on the same SAMBA server.
Any ideas on how to get XBMC Windows to sync with XBMC Linux using the MySQL db?
