Hi,
Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find anything when searching...
I've seen a lot of guides for syncing watched status etc to a MySQL database but unfortuantely don't have an always on machine and my Nas doesn't support MySQL
I do however have a personal website with MySQL and am trying to connect it to one of these online databases.
So far I have gone through the steps in the local install guides but applied them to the server I am hosted on.
I have the databases set up with a user that has full access to both. I have added these details to the advance settings file and to get the IP address i have done the following:
To get to the MySQL admin page for my site you go to "www.mywebsitename.co.uk:2082", So i pinged "www.mywebsitename.co.uk" to obtain the IP of the server, i have then used this IP in the advanced settings and 2082 as the port.
I have now put everything in place but when I load XBMC it hangs when starting up, if i remove the advanced settings file it then boots without issue.
Can anyone see any issues with what i have done?
Thanks in advance.
