I've got two HTPC's running XBMC Eden on Ubuntu 12.04 and an iPad running XBMC via Cydia on iOS 5.1. One which houses all my media runs an MySQL DB and shares the files via Samba. This central share has one database for music and one for video which my other XBMC HTPC machines can access and keeps a single library up to data and synced.

I love the feature in XBMC TV Shows>Latest and wondering if it's possible to share this information across all machines. The only way I seemed to be able to get it to work is to manually (or on start up) tell each machine running XBMC to update library and then this populates the TV Show >Latest any with new episodes. This seems redundant as all machines are sharing on central MySQL DB.

It should already work like that.

It sounds like the machines that must be refreshed are not connecting to the MySQL DB. I would start by confirming that they are all connecting, check your debug log and be sure there are no errors connecting.
