hi all ive managed to install mysql 5.6 on my server.

im having some trouble getting kodi to actually create and populate its database.

i used the GRANT ALL ON *.* TO '*****';
when i was setting up my mysql user


the mysql user can create and access databases so i'm relay confused

here is my AS.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <videodatabase>
        <type>mysql</type>
        <host>192.0.0.00</host>
         <port>3306</port>
        <user>******</user>
        <pass>******</pass>
    </videodatabase>

<musicdatabase>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.0.0.0</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>y*******</user>
    <pass>*******</pass>
    </musicdatabase>
</advancedsettings>

ive striped out my internal ip and username and pass for security hence 192.0.0.0 and *******

when i do SHOW DATABASES in my sql i get this

Code:

mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

If you want more info, enable debugging in the Kodi GUI, and also activate the Database component for additional SQL debugging.

Then restart Kodi, and provide us the debug log (wiki) via a pastebin website near you, and paste the URL to it here on the forum.

PS: Because showing an internal/local IP address is massively insecure..?

https://pastebin.com/raw/jKeHJm8A

i had a hard time getting it all into paste bin if you need more of the log ill find a way of splitting it and uploading to pastebin

i checked the location of my advanced settings xml i ran the ls command but i dont know why its quoted my advancedsettings.xml tho

Code:

yoda@yoda:~/.kodi/userdata$ ls
 addon_data               keymaps            peripheral_data   Savestates
'advancedsettings .xml'   library            playlists         sources.xml
 Database                 mediasources.xml   profiles.xml      Thumbnails
 guisettings.xml          passwords.xml      RssFeeds.xml
yoda@yoda:~/.kodi/userdata$

i removed them but they keep showing up in my log should i uninstall and reinstall kodi?

[Klojum]

Some of the less legal add-ons are quite a PITA to remove. I'd simply start fully fresh, because who knows which part(s) of your Kodi setup have been compromised. Rename your .kodi folder and have Kodi create a new setup. You can copy all necessary config files to the new setup.

Also, store your advancedsettings.xml file without the space in the filename.

here is the log file

it seems that there was an extra space in the advancedsettings.xml file that was throwing things out of whack top job for noticing it.

just to clear things up all i have to do is put the as.xml file on the other device and i wont need to re-scan my library as ive already done it successfully on the mysql server

[Klojum]

when i do SHOW DATABASES in my sql i get this

It seems like both kodi video and music databases were not created. Perhaps you still have a database user rights problem for the user you created?
Double-check that, and don't forget to do "flush privileges" afterwards.

Hi Klojum ive nailed it, my problem seemed to be an incorrect filename.

Code:

advancedsettings .xml

changed to

advancedsettings.xml

amazing how a typo can completely gum up the works, cant believe it was right under my nose the entire time.

kodi now connects up to the mysql DB and has created the databases and it successfully populated them.

once again i would like to thank you all for taking the time to help me figure this out.

Thread marked solved.
