Broke down and built an OpenElec stick tonight since it seems the most progress is being made there. It really does making the setup on a NUC quite simple with video looking good so far and audio working out of the box. I've not yet pushed anything through it to stress it as I'm still getting it fixed up like I want it and testing things.

Getting the remote working was simple enough with the autostart posted in this thread (thank you!) but one thing I've not yet seemed to get working correctly was having OE access my SQL server for viewing information and Music data. I moved over the same advancedsettings.xml file I have in use on another XBMC box with only tweaks for GPU\CPU temp removed. Is there any reason why this shouldn't work? I was able to move over my sources.xml with no issues and both files share the same permissions (644).

Code:

<advancedsettings>

    <videodatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>10.168.1.124</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>xbmc</pass>
        
    </videodatabase>

    <musicdatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>10.168.1.124</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>xbmc</pass>
        
    </musicdatabase>


</advancedsettings>

Thoughts?

P.S. Having CPU\GPU temp reading is very nice. I too use an MCE remote and have found them all over eBay forever - I have a collection of them!

UPDATE: - OE is using the advanced settings file - it's just apparently using an older copy of the database than my other installation!
