Add a Synchronisation Relationship
The 'Synchronise with another iTunes library' window allows you to set up a Synchronisation Relationship between one iHomeServer instance and another iHomeServer instance. You can set up multiple relationships to the same target iHomeServer or to multiple target iHomeServers as you wish.
Only iHomeServers that have been configured to allow connections from remote iHomeServer Management Consoles and have the check box ticked to allow your iTunes library to be synchronised by other iHomeServer servers. Both these options are on the Network tab of the Settings dialog and need to be set on the instance of iHomeServer that holds the content you want to synchronise.
 Source Server Drop Down
The Source Server drop down contains a list of all the iHomeServer instances on your local network that are configured to allow content to be shared with other iHomeserver libraries. If the iHomeServer instance you want to synchronise content from does not appear in this list, please open the iHomeServer Management Console on the computer running that instance of iHomeServer. Within the Settings window, open the Network tab and ensure that the "Allow connections from remote iHomeServer Management Consoles" and the "Allow your iTunes library to be synchronised by other iHomeServer servers" checkboxes are both ticked.
Note that you can only see iHomeServer instances that are on the same local network and IP subnet as the iHomeServer instnace you are logged into.

 Save Synchronised Files to this Watch Folder dropdown
Once media has been synchronised, it needs to be saved somewhere. Use this option to specify the target Watch Folder where synchronised content should be stored. If you want to store content in a new folder, please create a new Watch Folder first, and then re-create the synchronisation relationship.
