HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries/Contents Many other things can be synced using path substitution. Note that you can also use the Symlink instructions if your OS supports it. DO NOT TRY TO SHARE DATABASES. This works with both directories and single files. The following directories and files are known to be safe for this task:

Steps

  1. Share your existing userdata folder or a new folder with those files via NFS, SMB, or AFP. It's convenant to do this from the same computer/device as your MySQL server.
  2. Copy the text from the right hand boxes and add it to your advancedsettings.xml file, between the <pathsubstitution> and </pathsubstitution> tags.
  3. Note/copy the network path of your shared data folder and use that to replace PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/, for example an SMB share holding your playlists use smb://NAS/share/xbmc_stuff/Playlists/
  4. Make sure all XBMC devices that are being synced have this addition to their advancedsettings.xml file.

Playlists

  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/playlists/</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/playlists/</to>
  </substitute>

The Playlist folder in XBMC contains music, video and mixed playlists. If you have imported from pre-existing media libraries then you can use your old playlist folder to save time on recreating the various playlists. If your playlists include local file paths, you will need to edit them to use network shares instead.


Add-on data

  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/addon_data/</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/addon_data/</to>
  </substitute>

Editor note: Note what this is and why you would want to do it


Keymaps

  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/keymaps/</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/keymaps/</to>
  </substitute>

Sources

  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml</to>
  </substitute>
  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/mediasources.xml</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/mediasources.xml</to>
  </substitute>

RSS Feeds

  <substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/RssFeeds.xml</from>
    <to>PROTOCOL://YOUR_NETWORK_SHARE/xbmc/userdata/RssFeeds.xml</to>
  </substitute>
