UPnP sharing between two XBMC devices is the easiest way to share a library. You can also share multiple libraries, one from each XBMC device, to all the other XBMC devices on the same network. UPnP also takes care of file sharing, so you do not need to do anything extra even if your files are added locally to XBMC.

UPnP sharing between two XBMC devices is the easiest way to share a library. You can also share multiple libraries, one from each XBMC device, to all the other XBMC devices on the same network. UPnP also takes care of file sharing, so you do not need to do anything extra even if your files are added locally to XBMC.

  1. For XBMC device A (the "server") to go Settings -> Network -> Services and enable the UPnP server (Share video and music libraries through UPnP).
  2. Then for XBMC device B (the "client") go to Videos -> Files -> add videos -> UPnP
  3. You should see XBMC A show up there. Select it and hit "okay".
  4. You should now be able to see everything as it is set up on XBMC A on XBMC B.
