error loading advancedsettings.xml file empty
#1
Hello,

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get my new server up and running. The most recent issue I can not seem to find an answer to is...

The log file on my Mac Mini indicates that the advancedsettings.xml is empty. Returning the following error:

ERROR: Error loading special://profile.advancedsettings.xml, Line 0 Error document emtpy.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? The xml file has the correct mysql code and other computeres dont seem to have an issue.

Thanks!

if you search for the "errors" you'll find the:

"Error loading special://profile/advancedsettings.xml, Line 0 Error document empty"

my issue is I wont load my advancesettings.xml file... I'm trying to setup a synchronized SQL database to get my XBMC all talking to each other.


here is what's in my advancedsettings.xml:


<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.0.187</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc_video</name>
</videodatabase>

<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.0.187</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc_music</name>
</musicdatabase>
</advancedsettings>

well, for starters this is on an Apple TV 2, which is iOS, not Mac OS X. Second, you're using an outdated build, so update to the latest nightly build: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...htly_build

also read this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...ecific_FAQ

Try that latest nightly build and see if it works.

Thanks for the help ned, I stumbled on this thread via google. not the search here.

if I GF can get off the apple TV.. and stop watching Full season (she's only @ season 2.. help me god!) maybe I could do some real troubleshooting.

but I guess I have time to read up on threads you gave me.

so I'm still experiencing the same error.

what i'm hoping to learn from this troubleshooting is a way to confirm my appletv2's xbmc is connecting to the sql and pulling it's database vs the local one.

I'm suspecting it's because i haven't been able to import the database once I exported it.

I exported from my HTPC... but I really want to export and use the library from my appleTV2.

it keeps crashing when I try to export it from my ATV2.

here's the log: http://pastebin.com/BRmT6FxC
