just realized that....
sorry
I will let you know about the speed

rtrimarchi Wrote:I cannot believeThat's great news!
I do NOT see any difference
My network is all gigabit....
rtrimarchi Wrote:OK ...Don't worry, it's very clear...
Now that thumbnails, fanarts and pictures are in a common place......
Can I implement ALSO the mysql solution you proposed before at the same time
Because right now,
with ONLY the thumbnails folder moved to the COMMON PLACE (taken from PC1), if I set up PC2 to get his thumbnails from the common place too, I'm almost positive that PC2 will not recognize those thumbnails because his (PC2) mysql DB is not the same as the one on PC1, which is where the common thumbnails came from......
Tell me if I haven't been clear (I'm Italian )

Good luck!
rtrimarchi Wrote:So....Create one. Search wiki.xbmc.org for details about the structure.
1 - Export the library using XBMC export feature, with the one file export option
2 - Modify advancedsettings.xml located in the userdata folder of XBMC adding this lines:
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc_video</name>
</videodatabase>where:
PS: I don't have at the moment any advancedsettings.xml in that folder: What do I do ?
rtrimarchi Wrote:3 - Re-IMPORT the same file into mysqlXBMC>Settings>Video>Library>Import video library
How
rtrimarchi Wrote:Another question: Should I restart XBMC between step 2 and 3Yes, actually close XBMC before creating advancedsetting.xml

can you be a little more specific ...please
MrDVD Wrote:@charrua, maybe its also skin based ?Yes, that could be a factor, depending on how many poster and fanart images the view mode of the skin tries to load at once.
I run the default skin.
MrDVD Wrote:btw. my network speed is around 100MB/s.That's really fast, considering that the max theoretical speed of a gigabit network is 125MB/s, real life situations are normally much less than that.
MrDVD Wrote:No, i dont have an raid, i just join all hdds via mhddfs to one big for the clients.Then you must have really fast disks to be able to maintain a 100MB/s throughput.
rtrimarchi Wrote:Thank you all guysThank you, (thanks also to bradvido88 and MrDVD) the thread that you've started here became a good point of reference and ideas for people like us trying to find a good solution for a networked media browser/player.
