    Default Copying my Index from my Boxee Box to my Mac

    Hey guys I've had a boxes box for about 6 months so far and love it. I keep all my movies and shows on a 3TB My Book Live NAS. Boxee identifies about 90% of that but there's a lot it doesn't, especially shows which I've had to identify my self, probably 80-200 files I really don't know.

    Anyways I just got Boxee on my Mac because sometimes i prefer to watch stuff in my room on my laptop and love the interface. I assumed my index was attached to my username but its not and I have to rescan and identify all these files which is way too tedious for me. Is there any way to move the index from one device to another? Or do I have to re-identify everything all over again? What do people with multiple Boxee Box's do? Help please

    Unfortunately, each Boxee installation has to have its own media info database.

    (It's one of the reasons why I like Plex so much, it has a centralized database)

    Is there anything I can do? Can I use the boxee's database to rename the messy files? I don't want to invest the time doing this manually and I'm really picky about the super clean media library I've groomed. What do most Boxee users do?

    1) use proper file naming conventions
    2) use NFO files as needed
    and
    3) continue to manage each media info database independently.
