Ya know, I never read that warning and I'm super glad that it never effected me, because I'm woefully behind in making library backups...

There's no single thread with details. Just several scattered threads with people who couldn't get it to work. I don't know if there's a bug or if it's all just user error. I haven't had time to look into it, and so far no one else seems to have done so.

I had the issue.
There were actually a couple of things at play as far as I could tell. First, you obviously used mySQL. Second, you used a skin that used library.data.provider and/or skin.widgets. Third, you made use of the webserver. This combo would cause crashes galore.

I am having several weird issues. Items scraping multiple times, not playing .rar files. If I remove a show from the library, then rescrape, it does not rescrape, unless I change the name of the folder.

I have been using the central MySQL DB for years and recently upgraded to Kodi and then saw the warning. As far as I can tell everything is setup properly but none of my Kodi instances will track where I left off in a show. Any ideas? If this is the last version of Kodi for ATV2 can I assume I'll never get a fix for my ATV2's?

I saw the warning but as I'm prone to do ignored at and upgraded anyway. I'm happy to say I've had no problems at all. The DB is hosted along with my libraries on a linux server and I have openelec, fire tv, and windows 7 front-ends.
