Hi everyone,
Ive set up the shared mysql database to use with my apple tv's and my main HTPC / server and its working great. However the only slight problem is, the main htpc which is the server its actually connecting through to itself over the network. Basically if I unplug my ethernet it wont work, even though its the server machine. Also theres the slight performance issue aswell, for example when scrolling fast on the movie posters I get blanks from where its trying to read the database for a split second, its not as fluid as before setting up the mysql side.
So I was wondering if its possible to get the main machine to see the database as a local database but still keep the apple tvs remotely connected to it. If that makes sense.
