______________________________________________________________________________


Hi, I´v been googleing for hours trying to get help from threads already created, but haven´t found a solution to my issue!
I´m trying to setup a MySQL server on my media server pc (running windows 8.1 24/7 with all my media and whatnot), and I think I´v gotten MySQL running as it should, creating user 'xbmc' and grant all on *-* 'xbmc* etc etc.
I´m running XBMC v13.2 Gotham on the "server pc" (I´v rescand my media on xbmc server pc), v13.2 Gotham as well on a boxee box, and a macbook.
After modifying advancedsettings.xml i´m getting the "Movies" folder and "TV-Shows" folder on startup on xbmc, but it´s unable to connect to the remote server for some reason, which I´m to newb to figure out, so I´m hoping one of you pro´s can help me! I´ll add advancedsettings.xml to code aswell as what i can get from MySQL command line to help you help me!

Advancedsettings.xml :

Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <videodatabase>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.2.16</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>xbmc</user>
    <pass>xbmc</pass>
  </videodatabase>
  <musicdatabase>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.2.16</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>xbmc</user>
    <pass>xbmc</pass>
  </musicdatabase>
  <videolibrary>
    <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
    <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>
  </videolibrary>
<pathsubstitution>
  <substitute>
    <from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
    <to>SMB:\\MEDIA\Users\Robin\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails/</to>
  </substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>
