I have tried in the past to set up mySQL but have never been able to make it work. It seems like a lot of work when weighed against the benefits.
You are correct. The windows PC acts as my server and the paths on it are all formatted like "D:\Videos\etc..." while the Ouyas are using smb paths for the video files themselves.
Can I use sbm paths on the server, even though it would be pointing to a local path, in order to make them match? If not, and I do not have MySQL working, would just editing the settings2.xml like discussed before be the best option? I couldn't automatically update my channels, but I could edit and copy new ones over manually when I make channel lineup changes.
EDIT - Never mind about editing the settings2.xml, since I used path substitution the path pointing to the playlists should be the same. You are saying the playlists themselves point to videos in the wrong places?
