Hi,
I have been messing with XBMC for a few weeks now, got everything setup how
I liked it, then I decided to change it to mysql so I can add more nodes on the network.
mysql is on my server (linux) with my media shared via NFS and Samba
node1 is linux and everything is working fine, mount points are /tv and /movies over NFS on server
now I want to add a Windows machine, using Samba I can read my media, but I cannot find a way to ever have it work with the current populated database (can read the database itself fine) because the path will never match what is already there (linux path /tv/show/season/ep.avi) as windows will always be either a drive letter or smb://hostname/ etc..
Maybe I have missed some way of setting the sources up *shrugs*
Has anyone else come across this problem and maybe a solution?
If it come to it I could dual boot to linux then just use NFS again, but would rather not.
Thanks for any help
