Hello All,
I have been using xmbc/kodi for months, recently learning to integrate addons to the library, and scraping for the sources. the problem is its very slow and manual for each one. how can i speed up the process, how can i integrate and scrape everything at once and back it up in a manner that allows me to restore and use everything the way i had it. i have done research before posting this i have read through the wikis and a number of guides i cannot figure out wtf to do. i just want 1channel, want to subscribe to specific tvshows/movies, want to scrape all the links and thumbnails and everything else, update the scrapes, back it all up, and be able to use the backup to setup raspi's. i have read about setting up mysql servers to manage all the xbmc installations, i dont want to go through all this cause i cant get any use of it, i just want to setup sd cards and plug them in fully setup with everything how i want it.
right now i have to setup each raspi manually by using fresh installations, then config wiz, then integrating 1channel, adding the shows, scraping the links, which takes hours for each. how can i take the one i have already setup with everything i want and replicate it on a second raspi so that it works instantly ( meaning i just need to update the links not rescrape )
sorry i know its a very novice question and probably answered many times, but im becoming fatigued with working on this at all, and just want a simple way to use what i have already done
