i wish there was a way to synchronize multiple xboxes (maybe there is and i just don't know how?). i currently have two machines around the house that are fed media from a couple servers in the basement. i would like to upgrade to four xboxes, but the pain of managing them all keeps me from doing it.
example: i purchase a new dvd and rip it to the server. i now have to go to each xbox and scan the movie in. if imdb scans in some incorrect info for the movie, i then have to go in and manually edit the db on each machine.
it's not a major problem with two machines, but you can see what a pain it would be with 4 or more. what sucks is that ultimately the movie info in the db needs to be the same across all the machines. it would seem a logical solution would be to move the db's to the server, but i think some db elements like the stored aspect ratio might make that problematic.
does anyone have a suggestion on this or even a better idea that could possibly be implimented in future releases?
