Well I guess that did it:
- Install from scratch
- Update the advancedsettings.xml as described
- Create the database as described by pig13t (see below)
- Start XBMC and add your sources as per normal
Known defects
- The automatic lib scan on startup does not seem to work
As a good tip make sure that you put your fanart, *.nfo files etc in the directory with the media it really simplifies your life on the remote machines that need to read this data
To create the database use the following commands
I tried this on several machines with different OS's and is seems to work without a problem on all of them.
Thanks everyone for the help it is the little things that seem to make a big difference here but in the end a clean install seems to be the best solution, who would have thought
