Noticed that my MySQL database was gone after updating to the nightly build d6058ae-master for Windows. No problem, I expected this. Removed advancedsettings and restarted, then re-added my shares, exported the library.

I then decided to be safe and go back and totally erase and start from scratch with my MySQL database. I erased the video and music tables and re-created them from scratch.

Added advancedsettings.xml back in, restarted XBMC waiting for the import, and the program totally froze. Seems that this build is having trouble connecting to MySQL. Debug log is here:

Did I need to do something different or is this build just MySQL-averse?

My windows machine is my host and determines the version of XBMC I use in all other rooms of the house (with the DB changes they all have to be synced up) so it all starts here.

Thanks.

Silly question, but is the MySQL instance on the same computer as this XBMC installation? It seems like either you have the wrong host in the advancedsettings.xml file, or the MySQL daemon isn't running on that computer.

Found the solution. Don't use localhost, use the actual IP in advancedsettings.xml.

Used to not have to do this in 10.1, when the nightlies started, it looks like it now requires an actual IP in there and no more localhost or hostnames.
