Well it is a totally flat file structure. I have assigned a folder where I export my data from Ant MovieCatalog in xml format.
This creates a MyFilms.xml and places all cover images in the same folder.
When that is done I open MP and start the MyFilms plugin.
This action creates a backup of MyFilms -> MyFilms - MUS-backup.... and regenerates a new version of MyFilm.xml.
Now I can set the new file as read-only and other users are able to open the xml without crashing MP (and without beeing able to change it).
I think users need modify permission at folder level though (I tested a lot of scenarios, lost track a little), but if the file is readonly that doesn't really matter.
I have also removed all settings in MyFilms configuration related to updating (fx watch status etc, disabled AMC updater).
I distribute MediaPortal application with SCCM (yeah, probably overkill) and provide all clients the same configuration pointing to a share.
