hi,
as title, I've just installed dharma beta 2 from live cd (actually, I installed beta 1 live, then upgraded!) on my asrock 330ht running lucid (obviously)

I have another server machine running lucid server with mysql fully setup and working - is on default 3306 port and has the DBs set up correctly (i followed guide here)

Currently, neither my xbmc_music or xbmc_video tables have any data in them. They dont even have columns setup

I assumed that as soon as XBMC needed to use them, it would auto-populate the tables with the necessary columns

here's my advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>

    <videodatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>192.168.1.4</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>xbmc</pass>
        <name>xbmc_video</name>
    </videodatabase>

    <musicdatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>192.168.1.4</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>xbmc</pass>
        <name>xbmc_music</name>
    </musicdatabase>


    <gputempcommand>echo " C"</gputempcommand>

    <cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | tail -n4 | grep temp1_input | awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</cputempcommand>
    <gputempcommand>echo "$(nvclock -T | sed -ne "s/=> GPU temp.*: \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p") C"</gputempcommand>
    <!--    <hddtempcommand>echo "$(hddtemp /dev/sda | awk '{ print $3}' | awk -F '°' '{ print $1}') C"</hddtempcommand>-->
    <hddtempcommand>echo "$(hddtemp -n /dev/sda) C"</hddtempcommand>

    <videolibrary>
       <hideallitems>true</hideallitems>
      <recentlyaddeditems>10</recentlyaddeditems>
    </videolibrary>

    <musiclibrary>
      <hideallitems>true</hideallitems>
      <recentlyaddeditems>10</recentlyaddeditems>
    </musiclibrary>


</advancedsettings>

if anyone could give me some help i'd really appreciate it

ps if i need to get any samples just let me know (and how!)
