Template:XBMC wiki toc/v HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries/Contents Requirements: These instructions require XBMC v11 and up. All instances of XBMC being shared must be running the same version of XBMC for library syncing to work.
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
