HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries/Contents
You'll need to choose which of your computers, XBMC devices, or NAS will be the MySQL server. The server needs to be on 24/7 or have wake-on-lan (preferably the former), and needs to have a local static IP. You will probably want the XBMC device that is hosting most or all of your videos and music to also be the MySQL server, but this is not required.

MySQL can be installed on just about every major OS:
- If your library loads slowly with MySQL then you may wish to check out these MySQL speed-up tweaks.
On a NAS
MySQL can also be installed on some network-attached storage (NAS) device devices. See one of the following guides for more info:
- Pogoplug for a MySQL db in XBMC
- Synology NAS as MySQL server for XBMC
