and I have my living room HTPC (running Windows 7, which also contains the MYSQL server) running the July snapshot of XBMC with a populated MYSQL database. Success! One question/issue though:
I forgot to enable the checkbox 'Enable Root Access From Remote Machine' as per this guide when setting up MYSQL server:

I wasn't sure if it was needed at the time, and it seemed more of a security risk than anything. If I was just using this HTPC, I wouldn't think it's necessary because anytime I work on the HTPC, I remote in using RDP. The issue is I'm adding a PIVOS XIOS DS player into the mix later today and installing XBMC Linux on it for the bedroom. If I want to have this device access the XBMC database, and update the library, should I have enabled that option, and if so, how should I go about correcting that mistake at this point?
Yeah, I don't believe it is required. XBMC has a specific user and password that is set up in those steps for accessing and updating the library, so it should be all good. XBMC doesn't need access to the root MySQL user.
