I've just installed xbmc on my ipad today.
I have xbmc running on my mac in my bedroom and a win 7 htpc in the lounge room with a mysql database set up on the htpc and my media files on a network drive. All of these are running Eden beta2.
I copied my advancedsettings.xml file from my mac and put it in the userdata folder on my ipad. (/var/mobile/library/preferences/xbmc/userdata)
However, when I open the xbmc app, there are no videos in my library. Its clearly not accessing my mysql database.
I'm completely at a loss. I know the xml file is correct, because it works on my mac. I was fairly sure I didn't need to change it before using the same xml file for my ipad.
If I manually point my ipad at my collection, it will add the videos and scrape the data, but I would prefer to use my mysql database than have to update my video library everytime I open the ipad app.
I don't think its an issue with mysql, since I enabled all permissions to everything for any user on my home network when I upgraded to eden beta1
any ideas/help/suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
update: I just had a look through the log and the entry says
so obviously it can't read my xml file for some reason. Again I'm at a complete loss. Help?
