Full Version: Mysql - creating DB for xbmc to connect to
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have my library offset to a mysql server where i dont have privileges (authorization) to create new DB's (outside of a stupid web gui)

so i cant rely on xbmc to make the DB. Instead i created two DB's and named them as so:
xbmc_video75
xbmc_music32

I appended the numbers to the end of the DB name as i know xbmc does that automatically depending on the version running. (75 and 32 i guess are mine, i know this because i did run MySQL locally before and am able to see that).

Then in my advancedsettings.xml i pointed the music and video libraries to the right place via <name>xbmc_video</name> (i didn't put the 75 or 32 because i know xbmc does that behind the scenes).

my problem is the music worked perfect (even populated the DB with all the required tables) but when i add the video section into my advancedsettings file xbmc cycles endlessly on boot until i change the values of the video db to something else.

Ideas? Thanks,

So i think my problem boils down to not having super user privileges... is there any way around this?
