Ok, i get it work with library videos.
BUT, i have big dvb recording collection and those work only fileview-mode.
How i can add non-library videos to mysql database? I really need mark as wached and continue from last point function.

the trick is to create an NFO file for each of your dvb recording. ( warning; it can be tedious
)

It is keyed on the file itself.

playlists
keymaps

All these work great for me. Others may work too, but i haven't tested

Yes, but should those move to mysql video database?

Doh... Then there is still something wrong.
Only library videos mark as watched work, not file mode.
Edit:
Thanks, i get it work.
I check and mark as watched does not work at all on my server pc.
I remove all XBMC files from my server, and re-install. I don't check, but maybe there was wrong local path in my server.
Or there is left some nightly files, mark as watched do not work with files and nightly builds.
Anyway, thanks for your help, now all works ok.

I've been testing symlinks for addons and addon_data but I am noticing delays and stability issues when video plugins are run.
I was wondering, don't some video plugins use the database/thumbnails folder, and if so could this potentially cause problems later on if addon and addon_data is not shared between XBMC PCs with a single SQL db?

I'm also using a MySQL setup for 2 pc's and a NAS (Conceptronic CH3SNAS) with MySQL installed on it.
I have created .nfo files etc for all my movies & tv shows with sickbeard (and checked if they were correct using ember media manager).
Scraping uses the .nfo files fine according to the logs, but it's still quite slow.
Each tv-show still takes about 3 seconds to add to the DB. The log shows that 99% of that time is spent doing inserts to the DB. has anyone else noticed this and is there any way to speed this up? I know the NAS isn't the fastest sql server in the world, but 3 seconds sounds like a LOT to me for a few inserts
