Hi all.
I'm a long-time XBMC user and quite familiar with Linux (but not so much with MySQL) and I'm stymied.
This happened when I upgraded to Frodo Beta 1 and is persisting with Beta 2.
Under Eden, I was using a shared MySQL database hosted on the same machine (XBMCbuntu). Everything was working fine across Eden machines.
I recently migrated to Frodo and wanted to keep my machines (which include a Windows machine and an iPad) in sync. The Windows and iPad converted over easily and are sharing the new database fine.
On the XBMCbuntu box, my library was empty/not working and if I went to "Set Content" on my source, it looked like it worked but it would not stick. The minute I pressed OK and told it to refresh, I could then go back to "Set Content" and it'd be on "None" again.
When I remove my advancedsettings.xml, the library populates and works fine. And every time I put advancedsettings.xml back, the problem re-occurs. And FWIW, it's the same advancedsettings.xml file I use for all my machines, as follows:
I feel like this must be something simple. Any ideas? FYI, I've tried uninstalling XBMC, deleting my .xbmc folder completely, and re-installing, to no avail.
Thanks!
UPDATE: SOLVED: I changed the IP address to 'localhost' and it works now. No idea why but it does.
