I recently upgraded all of my clients to XBMC 12 and I'm trying to set up a central library database for my 4+ XBMC clients. I am running Arch Linux with MariaDB 5.5.30-1 and PhpMyAdmin 3.5.7-1, I followed this guide to set up the database and xbmc, but once I added my shows and movies (clean library, not importing a previous library) I'm pretty sure it only stores stuff locally since there aren't any XBMC related databases show in PhpMyAdmin. The XBMC user is created but nothing is entered into the database. There is also nothing showing in xbmc.log that indicates it's storing stuff in the database.

The two PCs I'm currently trying this on are my server that runs Arch Linux and XBMC 12.0-1 and my HTPC which runs OpenELEC v3.0RC5.

Here's my ~/.xbmc/userdata/AdvancedSettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <videodatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>192.168.1.114</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>xbmc</pass>
    </videodatabase>
     <videolibrary>
          <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
     </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

I didn't bind anything in my.cnf since I want to be able to access the database from multiple locations, not just locally.
