== Share your files ==
If you haven't already done so, you will need to make your media files accessible to all your XBMC devices by sharing them on the network through file sharing. XBMC itself or the MySQL server will not share the actual files for this set up. Most operating systems have built-in methods for sharing files. Most of XBMC's file sharing protocols will work except for UPnP.
See [[:Category:File Sharing]] for some of the file sharing methods that work with XBMC.

Requirements: These instructions require the latest nightly builds of XBMC (pre-Eden v11) or one of the Betas. Make sure all your XBMC devices are on the same build date (or at least close).

Template:XBMC wiki toc If you have more than one XBMC device on your local network then you might want to synchronize them using a MySQL library. Using a MySQL library allows you to store information about your whole video library in a central database, so that multiple XBMC devices can access the same information at the same time. This gives you the ability to:

  • Share watched and unwatched status for your media on all devices
  • Stop watching a movie or TV show in one room then finish watching it in another room automatically
  • Only one library to maintain for all devices
  • Consolidate thumbnails and fanart to save hard drive space
