Can you explain further? First create a backup of your db's. Then rename myvideo58 to myvideo60?

Thanks for the update guy's, looking forward to installing in on my apple TV2.

Does anyone know if I can update from Eden Beta 2 to Beta 3 using a command from inside putty (SSH)?

Burn the image in a cd or prepare a flash drive with (for example) unetbootin.

bleze Wrote:Upgrading on Windows from beta2 to beta3. I've been running a central MySQL database which was version 58. Beta3 tries to upgrade this to version 60 but fails and crashes on each load of XBMC:

Looking at the server, the new database only contained the two first tables (actorlinkepisode and actorlinkmovie). I then tried to delete the database and try again, but no luck.
Reverting back to beta2...

I too had this problem. To get around it, I did the following:

Back up my current database
Exported my database via System >> Settings >> Video >> Export Video Library (followed the same setps for my music library)
Deleted my current database
Updated XBMC and let it automatically install the new database during its first boot.
Imported the databases that were backed up in step 2.

While we shouldn't have to do this, it was quickest way to update to B3 using a shared mysql database. I tried several other options first, including granting all privileges to xbmc on the new database that was being created and nothing worked.

Now that the database is updated, I have 4 more XBMC clients to go get updated so that we're all using the new database (Video60).

And for what it's worth, here's the portion of my advancedsettings.xml file for the shared database:

Code:

I'm naming the server rather than an i.p. but also using path substitution don't know if it makes any difference also i would be inclined to check the user permissions on the database and change as necessary.

Initial startup for B3 on updated platform is slow, make sure you wait for it. My ATV1 displayed the splash screen about 90 seconds before it completed the update.

I did pretty much what Tuffy said to do in my test environment and also my actual xbmc server and it worked flawless.
My mysql is on windows 7, I only had to remove the database under C:\Users\Myusername\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database then myvideos58 and mymusic18 and this worked. I removed the one under c:\programdata and this didnt work, I actually added it back and then it worked. Good job Tuffy. If it werent for you I wouldnt have updated till someone posted some fix.
