First off you should try to focus on getting 1 xbmc machine working with mysql.

Assuming you configured mysql correctly, can you post your advancedsettings.xml file so we can determine if its formatted correctly. Also, your sources have to be network shares and not mapped drives because mysql doesn't like backslashes. If you need to post a log, use pastebin.com..don't post them directly in the thread:-)

I use the smb

( have the folder shared in windows)
See if smb can find your folders over the network
Even if they are on the same computer ( it's ok)
for example
smb://IX4-200D-TILON5/TV Shows/
before i moved them to my nas it was
smb://striker-pc/TV Shows

use smb as he said. the database will only populate with network added sources.

If you have all your videos in C, then you have to share your video folder in windows and in XBMC add it as a network path even if the XBMC is on the same machine as the video content.

uh, should be "share this folder" kinda thing

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...ia_sources

then the issues should be solved,
( Add your smb sources on the PC with the mysql installed, as thats where your sources file is )

I added one folder of disney movies on the desktopusing smb. When I opened the laptop nothing was on the movie folder.Am I supposed to do anything with the laptop or is it supposed to just show up.

script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=7QM5A2Qe"></script>\
Tried pastebin but it seemed i don't know what i am doing in that too.

Here is a line from my log about the advancedsettings.xml

when the xbmc is using the mysql , it just shows up on the other machine.
you would go into movies. and the new ones would be listed.


Verify the disney movies are in the desktop library as well
if you added the folder as a source , it should show up in the Video/files list. as well as your sources.xml ( if you peek)

IF you have a Mysql Admin program, you can also check the data if it got populated there as well

once it works in the desktop with the working library, lean over to the laptop , and start fresh
close xbmc, reopen it, and see if the movies show in the movies,
if they dont show up , there still needs to be some troubleshooting done with the logfile

this is what my logfile puts in when it loads for the advancedsettings section
Code:

Paul, i didnt read the whole thread,

but is your mysql server really on your 1.1 server?

if so <host>192.168.1.1.</host>

you have an extra . at the end... so that could have something to do with it.

he has changed it i think now to his desktop,
but you defenitely want to see if that extra . exists

Ok, let's start then with a clean advancedsettings.xml ill see if I can find your settings and post one for you for use with both.

ok , this is my standard one.
advancedsettings.xml
you will have to rename it to take out the upload

then you will need to edit it with wordpad on the desktop to change it to the ip address of the desktop Smile

then see if the log has the same myqsl bump out text as mine.
