In regard to my previous post, and probably 1 or 2 others I've managed to find with the same issue with AD downloading 128kb files that are corrupt - it seems to only have this issue with a MySQL back-end setup.

I've checked permissions and I've tested with another install pointing to and using the same media and storage location, with the same user accounts my media centers use and everything works fine. Both of my media centers fail to create usable files and the only difference between these systems and my test system is the fact their database is stored on a SQL server and not locally.

I guess my question is - much like creating the artwork itself - does AD use the xbmc user created when creating a MySQL database when it tries to write the info - or, does it attempt to use the windows / OS account to write information as it does with creating the file itself.?

Currently I'm having to use my test system pointed to my main storage to scrape artwork, but I'd much rather be able to do it directly from the media centers themselves.

Cheers,

Mungo.
