Hi.

&nbsp;

Because I have an NAS (without transcoding capabilities) as "main" PMS (24-7 in service) I would like to set up a second PMS on my desktop PC.

I plan to start this PMS, when I want to sync movies or shows to my iPad or other devices, so that I can watch movies "on tour". This "secondary" PMS is only turned on when needed.

&nbsp;

I really would appreciate a feature that gives the possibility to sync metadata and databases of these two PMS.

&nbsp;

That would be a really great feature.

&nbsp;

@Plex-Team: Thank you for this great piece of software! I like it!

> I did a search and so far haven’t seen this one. I have a friend who lives in Africa and she doesn’t have enough BW to stream from my server but her boy friend set up a Plex server on an old laptop and they can afford Plex Pass. Could we enable shared libraries to be synced from server to server? There would have to be some sort of sanity to the sync, maybe a throttle mechanic or/and a time period where it can go crazy and use all the BW and then throttle back down when people would be awake. …
