I have a Mac mini setup with XBMC using the internal harddrive to store the content. It scrapes and updates the library fine. I recently wanted to add XBMC to all the computers on the network. I've tried on two MacBook Pros, one running Snow Leopard, and the other running Lion. I installed the latest version of XBMC available on both computers. I shared the Media folder on the Mac mini through Sharing in System Preferences with AFP and SMB checked. I added the sources on XBMC in the MBPs with setting the content. I have a folder with TV Shows and another with Movies, both of them I added trying SMB and AFP. I can see and stream the content through files, but nothing is getting scraped. And it seems that every time I try setting the content, it just doesn't get set. I ran debugging and the main error seems to be "GetScraperForPath failed". I should mention that I tried sharing using UPnP with the same result, except that I get the artwork when viewing the content in files mode, again nothing is getting scraped.
Of course I've tried searching quite a bit about this issue with no luck on finding a solution. I see some mentions about SQL databases, but I'm really ignorant when it comes to SQL, and I don't see why I need to get into that as other people seem to be scraping their libraries over network shares fine without dealing with SQL.
Any guidance towards resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
