Hi,
I have been running XBMC on several devices for sometime now, and I have all of them using a central MySQL DB.
My setup:
- Ubuntu server running the MySQL server and all Thumbnails on a samba share on it. Movies and TVShows also hosted on it thru samba shares.
- iMac running Snow Leopard that is the main computer, that I use to tune the library (change thumbs, fanarts...). Thumbnails thru symbolic link,
- Two VAIO Laptops running Windows 7 64 bits, both with DB updates disabled, meaning that the DB is not updated on start. Thumbnails via symbolic link.
- An Acer Revo nettop running Windows 7 Home 64, same setup.
- An iPad jailbreaked, with the advancedsettings.xml file properly located, and the thumbnails via foldersubstitute. Also the hostname of the ubuntu server (mysql, thumbnails and movies) in /etc/hosts/
Everything worked flawlessly for months. Adding a new movie or chapter to a TVshow was as easy as coping it to the server, updating the library on the iMac and all items were in sync.
THE PROBLEM CAME WHEN ADDING AN APPLETV 2...
I used the same setup as for the iPad. However, once I connect to the MySQL database from the AppleTV, all other databases appear empty on the rest of devices (except for the iPad...) Tables are not empty, but it looks like only the AppleTV can read them and somehow corrupt them....
There is also an error notification when starting XBMC on other devices saying that there is a problem withe the RecentlyAddedItems addon, or something like that...
I edited the advancedsettings.xml file to create a new database (movies instead of XBMC_movies), and started everything form the begining.... First iMac, them VAIOs... works fine until I change the XML on the APT2 to point to the new table. Once I change it on the APT2, I can't see any movie or show on any device except for it.
Any idea? Somebody having the same problem?
I am using latest releases on all platforms, AFAIK.
Is it a known issue? I have searched for it, but I didn't find anything...
I am about to disable MySQL for the AppleTV...
Regards,
palmero
