OK ...
I'm changing from a non-existant advancedsettings.xml file, to an advancedsettings.xml file with the following content :

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <videodatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>***.***.***.***</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <user>xbmc</user>
        <pass>****</pass>
    </videodatabase>

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

     <videolibrary>
          <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
     </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

I can't see how creating/altering a file from the /storage/.xbmc/userdata folder will leave the Pi unbootable though ...
