Has anyone made step-by-step instructions for those that wouldn't know how to do a single step of this without hand holding? Including installing MySQL onto a remote instance of Windows and/or Linux?
thanks!

When using MySQL with multiple XBMC devices, do the settings (audio, video, etc) get sync'd to the database, or is this local to each device only?
I have two ATV2's set to use the same MySQL database but the audio/video settings are different..video has different screen dimension adjustments, and speaker config and DD support is different for each device.

i have what may be a very simple problem, that, after reading through all 24 pages of this thread, i can't seem to find a solution.
bit of background: i have all my media (and mysql) on a windows home server, i have a HTPC with Windows 7, and atv2 in the bedroom. I have changed advancedsettings.xml to map to mysql and this works fine on both machines.
my atv2 connects fine to the mysql server, but whenever i try to play anything, it says the file no longer exists.
in xbmc.log, i get "permission denied" errors whenever it tries to go get a file.
I'm assuming the problem is that it doesn't have the user/pass combination to gain access to my server, but I've no idea where/how to feed this in.
Would appreciate any help you guys can provide on this.
thanks in advance
EDIT:
Scratch that - all seems to be working now. I set the folder on the server to allow everyone to access, and I made sure that the server folders were in videos as sources.

This is definitely something I'd like to get going on my network, as I have 2 ATVs and would love to sync everything. Has anyone gotten this setup and running on a WHS 2011 machine? I tried to install MySQL but can't get the MySql command prompt to launch, so I'm stuck. (Sorry that this is not directly ATV related, but if anyone could PM me with any suggestions to get MySQL access on WHS 2011, that would be great!)
