@Crix1990. Had a look at your setup and copy directions and paths look fine. What I noticed is that the version of the plugin on your Media-PC is old. I suggest you upgrade to the latest.
Also, I suggest you use Triggers instead of timestamp as mirroring is more efficient and accurate. If you would like to change to triggers, can you make sure that the date in the XML tag <entry name="last sync">2015-03-19 22:52:43</entry> on both machines, contains an old date so that during plugin initialization, it performs all the trigger setup, as otherwise it will assume that it is already done.
Once you apply these suggested changes please revert.
What I've done:
Clear the db_share folder
Upgreade MPSync on Media-PC (Plugin manager shows 1.0.0.14 but I reinsall ist)
Switch to sync by trigger at Media-PC.
Edit last Sync to a date at year 2001.
Sync (sync gets stuck afer a few minutes (about 40% I think) of thumbs syncing. Restart gets another 40%. Third ry makes the sync complete.
Switch over to Meida-Box
Switch to sync by trigger.
Edit last Sync to a date at year 2000.
Sync
But still the Moving Pictures, MyTVSeries and mvCentral DBs shows empty at the config.
When I try to enter by MePo, MyTVSeries and mvCentral shows empty. Moving Pictures gets me the message, that no paths are defined.
The size of the db3 files at Media-Box matches with them on Media-PC.

I've cleaned the DB_share and Thumbs of Media-PC (so you can see the second error (later more)).
I've set old dates at the xmls (you will find each xml before the 1st sync with the logs).
Again, the 1st sync of Media-PC to the share stucks after a while, so I start a second which runs trough (I've get the feeling, that the stucking is just a display error).
Then I start the sync at Media-Box. The sync stucks also.
I make a screenshot of the console. When I compare it to the log, it really seams, that the console just don't show the last entries (but there is no "Sync complete" message at the GUI that shows that the sync was completed).
When I close the GUI I get a .Net error (just for your Information // I've added the message to the logs).
Second sync runs trough pretty well, but same result as last time (no DB entries and the path error at Moving Pictures). Again, just the Music DB works.

Delte all in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database on Media-Box.
Start sync (see logs), but there was no db3 exchange! (just the FanartHandler.org was copied).
Copy all DBs from the share manually.
Can see and use the DBs in MePo at Media-Box, but no syncing (add a Movie at Media-PC and set a series episode to watched at Media-Box || wait half an hour -> nothing || make a lot of manual syncs -> nothing)

I'm trying to use MPSync for the first time on a three seat setup, to reduce the amount of downloading required for MPTVSeries and MovingPictures metadata and artwork. However, I'm getting the same error on all three PCs immediately after launching MPSync, from .NET Framework, regarding an "unhandled exception". Two PCs are running Windows 7-64bit and one is running Windows 8.1-64bit. All are running MP v1.11 and the latest MPSync. I haven't proceeded with any setup of MPSync, since it seems the plugin isn't installing properly or is missing some dependency.
The details of the error are below and I'm attaching a screenshot...
Cheers,
Scott

@benicehavefun. From the attached error there seems to be something wrong with the MPSync setup. Will ping you separately so you can provide more details.
I have the same error as well. but i can move past it. everything works except it doesn't copy the files in the root of the folder i select to have replicated. it moves subfolders and the files contained within those.
don't know,
