I'm having an issue today getting the shared MySQL DB to work with MOVIES in XBMC Dharma 3 and figure/hope it's a user error - Just not sure which step I missed.
Win7 box (SERVER) hosts MySQL and database, local XBMC on that box displays folder.jpg just fine. Remote mac mini box (MINI) sees the database but only fanart, and does not see folder.jpg or extrathumbs. Extrathumbs are blank, and for folder.jpg, XBMC is creating its own screenshot from the video and using it to make the thumbnail. I use ember to manage my media so NFO and all artwork (thumbnails named "folder.jpg") are stored local in each movie folder.
SMB shares were set up on Win7 host system as smb:// with user:pass@Server and everything else.
Deleting item from the library on the remote machine (MINI) and rescanning library fixes folder.jpg issue but still skin does not see extrathumbs.
XBMC on remote system (MINI) is definitely grabbing fanart on server/host system. Just seems to ignore folder.jpg and extrathumbs.
Help
