How do I go about sharing the dvdid.xml across all computers? I only get the synopsis on the local PC.

In the ceton config tool, you can specify additional folders to copy the metadata to, I forget which tab exactly....

Each user has a folder:
c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\ehome\dvdinfocache

I am not sure what to do here. Select a lot folder on my other PCs?

Sorry, did a quick post from my phone.

Have you thought about installing the Ceton software on the other machines?

If you don't want to do that then you can look at sharing the dvdinfocache folders on each machine so that the PC that has the Ceton software configured on can copy the dvdid files to them.

Each user account on each machine will have the dvdinfocache folder (hidden by default), this is where Media Center keeps the movie library info for that user.

You could always manually copy over the dvdid files using a USB thumb drive as well, you'd have to do this every time you add a new movie course.
