ive tried both b2 and 3 of frodo and my sources file is not being parsed. i use xbmc with multiple systems and use sources and advanced xml to make the libraries share.
beta1 works fine in this scenario.
any ideas?

i found a solution after messing with it for a while, the log shows it could not upgrade the database, so i let it make the new 'libararyname75' folder in my sql program data folder, copied everything out of the 'libraryname72' folder and put it in the 75 folder. now i started xbmc and it sat and chewed for a little and everything came back up as it should. TV and Movies now show in the menu, and library is intact.
hope this helps anyone that has this issue upgrading.
not sure why this worked, or why it couldnt copy the old database to the new db folder. (maybe because i had used some nightlies here and there and that did something to the db) but running now.

If the name tag was working with beta1 then that's probably not the issue. Normally we need a log file with debugging turned on, but this might still be enough for our devs to see what's going on. Just in case you might want to throw up a full debugging log file up on pastebin.com (see
debug log (wiki)).
EDIT: ah, good to hear it's running now.

I have an issue that happened in beta 2 or 3 and is still there on rc1 where I can no longer see the networked share files (like to go in and manually refresh a movie that never scraped) I can only see the USB drives that are connected. But all new movies and tv shows added to the networked folders do get added to the library still so XBMC is obviously having no issue accessing the directories. The networked folders are on the hard drives located on the same machine running XBMC.

Now that does sound like the sources file not being read. labtopia's issue was likely different, because as you can see, XBMC doesn't actually use the sources.xml file after it has "content set" for the library. It's kind of like an nfo file in a way, in that it's only read once or if it's been edited ("refreshed"), and then the actual network path for library updates is stored in the library DB.
Can you get us a
debug log (wiki)? That might tell us what's going on there.

I figured it out, when you said sources not being processed I took a look and my smb shares did not have xbmc as able to access where sources.xml file was, that corrected it once i shared sources over the network.
Thanks!
