In the past, i tried to get my favorites on the NAS, for the use op 2 RPI`s with shared databases on the NAS.  But that was never possible.
I hope that now with the new Kodi Leia, some how its possible, or still no change to do this?

Thanks

What do you mean by, "favorites on the NAS?"

[nono123]

Sorry, I know my english is terrible. 

I like to to move the favorites.xml file to the NAS, so both Rpi use the same favorites.xml file (on the NAS)
Like they already uses the same databases for music en movies.
I hope somebody found a solution, something like a  Symbolic link, or something in the advancedsettings.xml, or "Special Protocol"
So add a bookmark on the RPI in the living room, and watch this bookmark in the sleeping room.
And vice versa.

Path substitution (wiki) is probably what you are looking for (set up in advancedsettings.xml (wiki), which you may need to manually create)?

Something like

xml:
<advancedsettings>

    <pathsubstitution>

        <substitute>

            <from>special://profile/favourites.xml</from>

            <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/kodi/userdata/favourites.xml</to>

        </substitute>

    </pathsubstitution>

</advancedsettings>

Where of course you'd need to set your smb (or whatever) path to point at your NAS share, and make sure there are suitable permissions on it so that it the devices can read/write to it.

Substituting favourites.xml works well up until krypton.  With leia onwards you'll get unpredictable results, as if you update favourites on one machine that change won't be reflected on the other(s).  If you're using it (favourites.xml) as a read-only file it will work fine.

Thanks for the input.
My advancedsettings.xml look like this:

xml:
<advancedsettings>

  <videodatabase>

    <type>mysql</type>

    <host>192.168.178.12</host>

    <port>3306</port>

    <user>kodi</user>

    <pass>kodi</pass>

  </videodatabase> 

  <musicdatabase>

    <type>mysql</type>

    <host>192.168.178.12</host>

    <port>3306</port>

    <user>kodi</user>

    <pass>kodi</pass>

  </musicdatabase>

  <videolibrary>

    <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>

    <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>

    <cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>

  </videolibrary>

  <pathsubstitution>

    <substitute>

      <from>special://masterprofile/favourites.xml</from>

      <to>smb://RPI-NAS/Films/Kodi/userdata/favourites.xml</to>

    </substitute>

   </pathsubstitution>

</advancedsettings>

Its works a little, but its true that the last added favourites disappear, when adding a favorite on the other Rpi. When rebooting the RPI its reads the favorites.xml on the NAS again, and then it works fine.
But that not ideal.

Can you explain what you mean by this, plaese?

If you're using it (favourites.xml) as a read-only file it will work fine.

I mean it works as long as you don't make changes to the file.  Or as long as only one kodi is open while you're changing it.
