I got this working today with the instructions from the original post at lifehacker, however at first it would not work. I had installed the 32 bit MSI version of MySQL (mysql-5.5.9). Created the tables etc.
Upon launching, the UI would lag really bad and nothing would get scanned in if I tried to add content Looking at the xbmc.log I got errors such as this:
"Can't get hostname for your address"
I found you have to go into your mysql directory and add "skip-name-resolve
" to your my.ini file. Afterward I restarted the MySQL service and it worked.
I am pretty sure I saw this somewhere else because the fix sounded really familiar, but if anyone else tries this and runs into the problem maybe this post will help them!
