Hi,

I'm having trouble trying to get a shared database to work with mysql
I am using the 10.1 version of xbmc and it works fine using the in built database
I have read several posts about this
I have setup the mysql databsae correctly
I have run forums, mythtv and a webstore from my mysql database so I'm sure its working
I have created the xbmc user and the xbmc databases

When I run xbmc it creates table poulates them with some information but does work as it did before with the inbuilt database

I tried the latest git and no go
mysql version is 5.1.36

xbmc creates 14 tables and it fills in actors genre and path of one show

Fixed it by changing collation to latin1
I dont remember reading that anywhere
