I run multiseat system

The process I use is to decide on a master PC - typically the one I use to download movies, add un reconised videos from do maintance from etc....

I share the thumbs folder and map all clients to it via mediaportaldirs.xml on each PC

Map custom DB folder to an easy to find share also via mediaportaldirs.xml on each PC

then copy the contents of the master PC database folder to the other client DB folder locations on a regular basis

This can be done via windows task scheduler or a startup script whatever works for you depending on whether you use STBY on shutdown on the clients. You gotta figure out what works as the files are locked if MP is running

Then all clients keep a semi current DB that they can update via the automatic scrapers (which is not kept) but not affect the master PC DB. You no longer will corrupt the master DB which is the problem with trying to share the standard SQL single use DB between clients as they are ofline DB's.

Not perfect but works for me until we get a multiseat setup for me
