Hey guys,
So I got XBMC running on multiple PCs in the house, and I have my thumbnails folder linked up in dropbox for syncing across all platforms (including openelec, which was a toughie! but that's for another time).
Anyway, one of the PCs that runs XBMC is a laptop. When I am not at home, and I fire up XBMC, it either crashes or might as well crash since it cannot link up w/ the MySQL server that I have specified in my advancedsettings.xml file.
Is there any way to make it so that if XBMC is fired up and it cannot connect to the MySQL server, that it doesn't crash and is usable without having to rename the advancedsettings.xml file? At school I often want to show off the interface somewhat and I often forget to rename the advancedsettings.xml file before doing so.
I know this is a relatively minor issue, and the devs have far larger items on their plate, but I am hoping for a simple solution.
