I recently made a change to my system so that my database was moved to mysql and all my video sources were accessible over upnp or smb shares.
To transition mylibrary, i cleared out the old video sources in xbmc related to my library, deleted the strm files, and purged the cache db files used by mylibrary. I also updated mylibrary's config file to use unc instead.
But... the update meta data part of the script is failing: "SKIPPING meta-data update: the video is not yet in XBMC's library"
I can see in your source that you're substituting the unc paths with smb paths for xbmc's database, so i was puzzled. I was staring at the values in xbmc's episode information and my library's log to find the problem, but didn't see it. When i opened the mysql db, i saw it right away (i think). My smb path in xbmc appears to be holding my un and pw in clear text after the smb:\\.
first - i'm not happy my pw is in clear text there - not the problem of this forum though.
Second - how can i get the meta data to update my db entries when my smb path contains a username and password?
