I currently have a mac mini with xbmc installed. I now want to create another user, say MEDIA, and copy over my xbmc intall to that user. My media resides on an external usb drive, so i don't need to change any paths. I copied my xbmc directory from app support to the new user but my xbmc wont work propery (rc2). How do i go about copying over my exact current xbmc setup to the new user? I mean including my skins, skin settings, my videoi/audio library, and other misc settings I had.
I have done some research and ofcourse theres that whole mysql business of keeping my directory in sync between multiple users. I dont need to do that since i don't care if going forward both users change settings indepently, or chnge the library. I simply want my xbmc to be installed in a common profile as well for everybody else in the household to use instead of my profile.
Its obviously not as simple as copying over the xbmc directory, and I did read the mysql guide and dont want to get into all the ufnkiness unless its necessary. If someone knows what im doing wrong please let me know. I cant see a reason why this isnt working, considering my media paths havent changed. When i load up xbmc in the new profile with my xbmc directory copied over, my skin wont even show its default backgrounds.
