Been using this method for ages and it's been great, even had central Thumbs and Fanart, but just starting testing the Dharma release and Latest nightlies and can't get it to work with Mysql.
Anyone else having issues getting Mysql to work with Dharma and Latest SVNs?
it just seems to ignore the Advancedsettings.xml?

My Dharma release automatically looked for the file in %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata (Whereas it was previously under Program Files).
In my case this was the cause, hopefully its that simple for your as well.

When using the central database i have the problem that most skins (except Confluence) fail to show most recently added files. (it works half/half if I let Confluence get the recentlyadded files and then switch to another skin).
Is there a way i could fix this? I reckon each skin is differently coded and i fear these ones that don't work have the database location hard-coded.
Does anybody also has this problem? (and a possible solution)
MY SET-UP:
Xbmcfreak LiveCD 10.08 svn31632 running on an Asrock 330HT linked with a Synology NAS which i use as Msql server.

I have the same problem with recentlyadded at my setup. I'm running XBMC PRE-10.5 r31443 with Transparency skin v.3.05

It apparently is a problem with calling the recentlyadded script in the home.xml file. More specifically the extra conditions:
Code:
&unplayed=True&totals=TrueIt's a known issue

Quick question for all you mysql users; are you using any supplemental tools to handle/maintain your database (like EMM, for example)? I would like to be able to clean up my database outside of XBMC (mostly via RDP from the road/work) which isnt really an option without a 3rd party manager, as far as i know.
Anyone else doing this or have ideas for doing this?

you have to recreate the db - means delete the old one. thats the price for dharma. when you let xbmc recreate the movie db everything goes fine.

I, too, am having issues with mysql and dharma now. I deleted my mysql DBs, allowed imdb to recreate them, yet when i reassign my content and my scraper they are not saved next time i go in there, plus no data is being brought into the library. In fact, i cant even switch to library mode at all (presumably since it is empty). Checking the actual mysql tables i see my test entry has been created in the 'paths' table, but that appears to be about it.
Thoughts? Gairly new to using the mysql method here... What other builds of XBMC are people using with it that are less flaky?
