Awesome.. but wondering if i should run this on my Windows Server.. or if it might be better to run this on my Revo... any recommendations on where the Database should be located?

The database should be on a centralized server, in your case, WHS. Mine is on WHS and I see zero speed degradation.

Still can't get Symlinks to work properly.. Going to scrap attempting this project until an integrated sync is added

I had symlinks working on my WHS box ... what exactly isn't working for you with them?

Here is a better step-by-step guide on creating symlinks:

I had this working, but decided I would be better off with a localized copy of all the thumbnails on each machine running XBMC so I setup dropbox. Here's to hoping that this is added to the MySQL functionality sooner rather than later though!

I am wondering if the user account information on my primary windows 7 server is hindering symlinks... I would like to setup the dropbox style sync but i am still hesitant relying on an external site to manage this. Really wish this was being considered to be a feature in XBMC.
