Does Kodi need to be installed on the system where mySQL is installed for a MySQL Kodi setup like this one?

http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL

I have all my clients set up with Kodi and added sources. However, when I try to SET CONTENT, the setting is never stored and I cannot scan items into my library?

Why do you think my client machines can't SET CONTENT?

I double checked the MySQL port and IP address, both match the advanced settings file.

Strange.

How many clients are you running?

No idea - there's nothing to go on (and I'm no expert). I'd suggest posting a debug log as a starting point.

Yes, it is weird. It was working before. I had to redo my torrent / Kodi MySQL machine.

I will get a debug going and see what is going on, thanks!

Post up your advance setting xml file. Just remove your IP address'.

Ill take a look. But I doubt it's this.

Does each instace of kodi not save the set content selection?

Almost Guarantee it's a MySQL corrupt db like you had a few months ago. Close all kodi instances, then drop the database, and restart one instance of kodi and set content.
I really have no idea what I am talking about. Proceed with caution. I confuse easily. And drink. A lot.

Thank you everyone for your help! I totally forgot about the log file thing. I saw what was wrong:

Code:
1:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: SQL: Can't create new database: 'MyMusic52' (1044)
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyMusic52 (0)
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to create new database
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos93 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos93')
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos92 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos92')
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos91 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos91')
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos90 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos90')
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos89 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos89')
21:36:10 T:6596   ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos88 [1044](Access denied for user 'kodi'@'%' to database 'myvideos88')

So, I opened the MySQL CLC and did this again:

Code:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'kodi';

I probably forgot to end the command with a ; the first time I did it. Everything works now! Big Grin
