AW: Synchronizing multiple clients - feature request

Hi.
Central Database can work without issues as long as you only use one client at a time and as long as you have the file path identical on all systems. If a Network share is mounted as e.G. Z: on one system and as Y: on another, central DB did not work. SQLite DB is not able to have multiple Write actions at once. If this happens (e.G. on two clients is a movie set to watched at same time) the DB crashes and is no longer usable. High risk with low advantage... not a really wise solution.

With upcoming MP2 all this is stored in a MySQL DB witch can have as much Users at once as you like. And the DB can store "per client data" like different file path, different watched flags,... But MP2 is not jet available. I think the first Alpha will be out in some month. Until then I think we better use SQLite carefully.

And with the .nfo method you always have a full "backup" of your DB as an extra...
