Hello,

I think these low end CPU devices would really benefit from having a UPNP-like server feature for dealing with massive amounts of EPG data. Here is what I've found in my experience:




My backend is as follows:

SERVER
Mythtv 0.26 running on:
Intel Atom 330
1gbps network


FRONTEND #1
One XBMC PVR with cmyth client
Athlon II 240e
1gbps network
EPG takes approximately 5 minutes to fully load up when starting XBMC.
I would love for this to be the "EPG server" too.


FRONTEND #2
Another XBMC PVR with cmyth client
RaspberryPi 256MB
run on a Class 10 8GB SDHC card.
100mbps network
EPG has taken over 1 day and is still not done.

It would be great if the SERVER could run XBMC PVR and export its EPG to either FRONTEND #1 or FRONTEND #2. I don't see why I would need each client to store and update a local database for EPG. I would be awesome if this could be run as a service similar to UPNP, that would make setting up other lower powered XBMC frontends very easy.
Thanks.


Could this be done by synchronizing xbmc databases across all devices?

You should better ask this in the general PVR or feature request forum.
I think you should be able to speed it up if you use a centralized mysql setup.
