So, I read up on this new feature:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...20to%20v12
Where Frodo will sync thumbnails between all my boxes and I've got a couple questions.
I understand the process, but I guess I don't get how it works. Let's say I start with 2 boxes, a master box where I add content and update the Library and a remote box. My library is shared via MySQL (Is that a requirement, by the way, for this to work)? I don't see how, once I copy over my Thumbnails folder and Textures13,db file to the remote machine, that it knows to go back and fetch from the master box or how to find it. Can anyone explain? Just for my own peace of mind?
I use an OSX desktop to update my library. A FreeNAS box to store my media and MySQL DB. I also have a Mac Mini, Ion, and 2 ATV2s so it's a varied setup.
Also, my second question - I have not yet added the two ATV2's to the mix yet. When I do, is it ok to start with a copy of whatever is on the master OSX desktop in the Thumbnails folder and the Textures13.db file from there, or do I need to start all over again with every box? The tutorial at the link above mentions doing every installation at once, but not what to do when you add a new box in.
Thanks, this is an exciting new feature, just trying to figure it all out I guess.
