Thermos Wrote:I just set this up on my WHS and have connected two pcs to the databases. The only issue i had was as others had said, i needed to pass the mysql port through the firewall on the WHS. Everything runs snappy and clean. LOVE IT!!!
Question...I have one old XBOX running xbmc in the house. Anyone know if this will work on the xbox??
Oh, and i also tried the the Linked folder approach for the Thumbails folder, so there would be one source on my server. This as well worked perfectly, but you can see a slight lag in loading fanart and posters. especially when skipping though a lot of movies. i love the idea of having a single source for this but am not sure if i am going to keep the setup or not. gonna play with it some more and see if the lag is annoying or not really that noticable.
I think your post just opened my eyes the the problem I was having. I didn't open the firewall on the WHS for my MySQL port. My xbmc machine was virtually unresponsive so I removed the advanced xml settings. I'm going to have to try this again with the port open.
What did you end up doing with the linked folder approach? Does it pull from the xbmx box? Or did you continue to pull that data from the WHS?
