Hey all

I've taken my Advancedsettings.xml from my atv2 xbmc and transfered it over to my android xbmc. Every time I run xbmc, it's crashing it

I'm using a nightly build from the 21rd of aug

Don't understand why this is happening.

Here is my advancedsettings.xml

A debug log would most likely tell you what is causing the crash. I would recommend deleting the pathsubstitution as thumbnail sharing is NOT recommended with Frodo and beyond as handling has changed.

not sure if im reading the log right but from what i can see its saying the database doesnt exist? if thats the case do i need run 2 different databases? one for the atvs and the other for my android box?

tried it with removing the path substitution, still the same crash
Well this is the reason form crash

unfortunately you cut off half the log so I can't see what your advancedsettings is doing. What machine is MySql located on? Did you edit my.cnf and change the bind address to allow network access?

What version on MySql is installed?
I'm using a synology nas, that is all what was in the log, network access is opened up as per the guide in the wiki. Using phpmyadmin 3.5.3

I've been using it for a year now, using 2 Apple tv's, using that exact xml file.
Is your Android xbmc connected to your local network? Try and get a complete debug log, I'm interested in the part where it reads advancedsettings.xml
apologies, that wasnt my complete log, not sure what happened there!

this is my complete log, cant get any further without it crashing, literally crashing on the xbmc boot screen

Looks to me like you're running Frodo (v12) on your other installs and it's failing when it tries to update to Gotham (v13) database version. Try upgrading your ATV installs to Gotham Alpha 7.
\
Also lines 32-86 in the log show weird characters being read in your advancedsettings.xml, possibly a line ending problem??
Lines 129-131 is choking on your pathsubstitutions.
Line 309 updating database.......
ive re wrote the the xml in notepad++ thats no longer showing the odd characters

ive sorted the line 129-131, chmod 501 sorted that

ill update all my xbmc instances to alpha 7 now, completely over looked that they were different!

thanks for your time bud, really appreciate it
im starting to think theres an issues with alpha 7, as now my atvs that ive just updated to alpha 7, are crashing on start up

this is my latest log

the only error i have now and it crashes right after this line:

20:11:34 T:1074704152 ERROR: SQL: The table does not exist

its not updating my database??
Try alpha 6 or 5 then up to 7, music changes in 5, video changes in 7 see here http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...s/Versions or try exporting databases then drop the existing in MySql and reimport (make copies of the databases before dropping them just in case)
just updated myphpadmin to latest 4.05, which contains mysql 5.1.49

still no joy, it cant seem to create the database

ill give it a shot now

just exported, dropped them and ran alpha 7.

new databases have been created and xbmc loads up. Can i restore the old databases into the alpha 7 databases? i can easily re scan my library over night, more so interested for learning
If you run "export database" in xbmc then it creates an xml file that you can then "import database" Alpha 7 obviously has problems updating the database
ah, lol i exported the database via myphpadmin, and not xbmc. i cant be bothered to restore the database downgrade xbmc then export it. ill just re scan it all in,

thanks for you time! fingers crossed i wont come across this again in future updates!
