Sync- mac to mac

Is it possible to sync the library from one mac to another? For example, I'd like DVDpedia on my laptop and on my mac mini to show the same library. If I then add 5 movies to the library on my laptop, is there a way to sync it so that the mac mini would have it too (without having to add them one by one)?

Thanks.

Thanks. For some reason, when I searched, it kept giving me only the sync with pocketpedia links...

Thanks again.

Difference might be that I searched for dropbox, knowing it would hit at least a few sync-related topics. Plenty of forum experience makes it obvious that searching for something previously seen is near-guaranteed to be more productive than doing it cold. :)

Whenever I suggest that someone search I also like to suggest keywords (if known) to try, hoping they'll appreciate that more than a flippant "use search" type of response. Usually I prefer phrasing it as a "have you tried searching for <x>?" question. How to encourage people to search, preferably before posting, can be a tricky, touchy topic. Best never to blindly assume someone hasn't tried searching, even when it temptingly seems like they haven't.

But enough about that. Thanks for the thanks, hopefully saving you a bit of effort by my doing some of the searching for you… this time. :)

I'm working on a command-line synchronization tool in Python, for all of the Pedias (Book-, CD-, DVD- and Gamepedia).
However, it is still requiring to have both Pedia databases available on volumes on the local machine, like a SMB- or AFP-shared directory.

Everything is working well, but I need to give the ability to select the right element in case of conflict on a per-element basis (currently, you only have a global option to always select the most recent, the oldest, or one database in case of conflict).
Do you think that this tool could help you?
