Need some assistance with this, again. Anyway to determine that xbmc is able to connect to mysql?
I installed Windows 8 on my main HTPC (clean install) and after doing so realized that is where my install of mysql resided. So, got the idea to just run XBMC on my main PC with mysql since it is always on and has better specs. Still have 2 HTPCs so running 3 total installs of XBMC. I also did the speed enhancement steps for mysql from the wiki this time, which I didn't do previously. However, when I update the library on my PC the HTPCs are not showing the updated library results.
Which or where should I start troubleshooting this? I am sure there are log files that would tell me if there is an error, but not even sure where to start. Should I look at the XBMC logs or the mysql logs? Can I test the connection between xbmc and mysql in some way? I assume currently each HTPC is pulling the data from the sources and not mysql. I don't think I missed a step, this is my second attempt at this and last time all worked well with the oddness with my touchpad refusing to connect after the mysql install.
TIA
