I'm in the process of testing out Boxee on my MBP but will eventually install it on an AppleTV.... What's required to basically transport this setup to another Mac/AppleTV?

you can install boxee on multiple machines just follow the installation links in the forum....unfortunately most of the data such as sources,settings etc are locally based not server based so you will have to manually sync all of them..or copy them over to your other machines:)

I think my question was a too vague. I appologize.

Basically, what I'm trying to do is the heavy-lifting (setting up my sources, fixing all wrongly targeted video metadata, etc) before going "live" on my AppleTV.

I have 4TB of video, mainly TV. So there are a fair amount of bad tagging. Either my video has the wrong season/episode number or it's parsed incorrectly from Boxxee.... so I'd like to be able to do all the work on my MBP and then export it.

In theory the data is the same (same servers, same network, same shares) so I thought I could just copy some or all from /Users/Jason/Library/Application Support/Boxee.

As a side note, You've done some amazing work. :-)

that seems like it should work, in theory.

I am syncing multiple boxee installs with Unison - some things work, others do not...
Fortuenatly, sources seems to work just fine.
