"the episode pictures of a show would just not be recognized by the second server"
i don't understand this though, i have a server which writes nothing to the media drive, everything in it's own docker folders as per normal
if you use nfo saving on the first server, then all the information will be saved with the media and subsequently loaded into the 2nd from nfo files
but only if you set it up that way; 1st server Metadata Savers -> Nfo On, 2nd server just disable all metadata downloaders
or just let each one scrape the files, seems wasteful though
other than that i think the only issue might be timing where the 2nd server scans before the 1st has finished
Sorry, I probably used some awkward wording.
So I actually tried this (first server scans and writes in media folder, second server doesn't scan online databases (I just forgot to git it read only access)) with one show and two movies. I also created the second server after the first one was long done scanning, so in that test shouldn't be any problem with synch timing.
On first glance it worked well. But the second server didn't show the pictures for the individual episodes, it just showed a generic picture of the series for every episode. There episode-pictures were in the folder of the series with the nfo-files referring to them though it just wouldn't show them in the second server.
And for some reason the pictures of the actors wouldn't load on their own.
If you don't have an idea why that might be, I guess I have to try the "wasteful" option.
