Thanks that did the trick. Never used nano before, but it was pretty simple in the end.

special bonus:
- put mediasources.xml and sources.xml on the NAS
- edit advanced.....xml on each Mac and RPi

put

Code:

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml</from>
    <to>/Network/Servers/media.private/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml</to>
</substitute>
<substitute>
    <from>special://masterprofile/mediasources.xml</from>
    <to>/Network/Servers/media.private/xbmc/userdata/mediasources.xml</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>

and you have shared sources instantly available everywhere. you can do the same with favorites.xml

the <to>...</to> can be regular folder (I have nfs mounted central xbmc setting folder on each machine), but it can be "nfs://" , "smb://" anything what xbmc understands.
