I want to set this up and have done all the pre-setup stuff short of modding the advancedsettings.xml - my question is I have been using a local database and it is all set up nicely - can I copy this to the "new" mySQL database, or is it a full rebuild?

Thanks

Export your local database and then update your advancedsettings to point to the new MySQL database. Import into your new database.

before I go searching is there a wiki article about how to do this?
Thanks for your help!

HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc
