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.

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:
