EDIT: I'm an idiot - my advancedsettings.xml did not have the <advancedsettings> tags. That caused this problem:
If someone would be so kind as to help me out with my setup, I would be forever appreciative.
I have my central install on an Aspire Revo 1600 running XBMC Live. Everything is set up there - I added my smb sources as smb://192... The database populates and updates properly when I make changes within XBMC.
My issue is with my laptop - a MacBook Pro. I have created the advancedsettings.xml file with the appropriate info. But I'm confused what to do or what is supposed to happen next. I've mapped the smb drives numerous times, but it just scrapes info from the movie db (so any changes I make on my main box are not reflected in my library on the laptop). I guess I don't understand how the laptop "connects" to the mysql database.
I've checked xbmc.log to see if there are any errors on startup - nothing (at least that I know to look for). Is there any way to tell if it's actually connecting with the database? My advancedsettings.xml file is in ~/Library/Application Support/userdata.
This is driving me crazy, and I feel like I'm missing something ridiculously stupid.
Thanks.
