I'm trying to setup a MySQL database following this guide http://lifehacker.com/5634515/how-to-syn...-the-house
It's probably complicated by the fact that I already have Mediaportal installed on this PC using MySQL but it shouldn't be too hard to workaround.
According to the guide, doing CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc'; creates the login/password pair xbmc/xbmc so the password "MediaPortal" I have to use when opening MySQL commandline must be a master password that's not important for what I'm trying to do here.
Anyway, I've created an advancedsettings.xml like so:
and I also had to add bind=0.0.0.0 to my.ini as mysql wasn't showing as listening in Comodo firewall before.
However, both before and after changing the bind=,
SELECT host,user from mysql.user;
and
SHOW DATABASES;
returns
so it looks like only root (the Mediaportal user) has access on 127.0.0.1 and localhost, whilst xbmc is only listed against % (whatever that signifies). Sure enough, I'm unable to scan content to the Library in XBMC with the advancedsettings.xml (without it, the normal XBMC database works fine).

7 rows in set (0.02 sec)so it looks like only root (the Mediaportal user) has access on 127.0.0.1 and localhost, whilst xbmc is only listed against % (whatever that signifies).
