You should be able to share you media across multiple devices...

Are you trying to use file sharing (Windows Sharing/SMB) from the PC to the laptop, or are you trying to share the library from one XBMC device to the other (both pretty much do the same thing, but one way is easy and the other way you only have to set up once. Actually there are three ways, but I'll let you answer before I get that far)?

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

well thanks for helping me out. im just trying to do whatever is easier...i want to be able to share the folder were my movies are on PC to my laptop...like when i go into XBMC and in my laptop and tell it to look in my PC for the movies....i hope im making sense. but if there is an easier way of doing this i would take any suggestions. I just have all my movies on my pc which is out of reach from my tv so i want to be able to use my laptop to streeam them...sorry if im not making any sense.
