I prepared myself for this upgrade by making a copy of my database and exporting my library. Once that was complete I made sure that my MySQL user had full rights to create the new database and then started Eden. It took a little time to get running and once it did i noticed that there wasn't anything in my library. I checked MySQL and can see that it did indeed make a new database and it is about the same size as the old one.

I guess im kind of at a loss here as to what to do next. I thought maybe I needed to import my library bu when i located the exported file it didn't do anything.

Any suggestions?

How are you mounting your media? If you're on Windows MySQL won't accept drive letter shares, you have to use smb or nfs. I don't know if this is new to Eden, as I only implemented MySQL after moving to Eden RC2.

On my system when using mapped drive letters it would create the database, and load a lot of information into it, with the exception of the location of the media files.

I am using SMB

What steps did you take to implement MySQL in RC2? I have been running it since Dharma first dropped so maybe the process has changed some?

I wasn't using MySQL previously, and as it was a pretty fresh install I didn't care about losing my watch flags, so I just rescanned all my content.

1. I put MySQL on unRAID, ran the commands in MySQL to create the xbmc user, and grant privileges to the xbmc user per this:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...g_up_MySQL

2. I added the necessary entries to advancedsettings.xml per http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ng_up_XBMC

3. Started XBMC, Added my sources and allowed a content scan to be run.

You may want to log into your MySQL server using something like HeidiSql (free) and drop the existing MyVideoxx and MyMusicxx tables (where the xx is a number).

Did you perform the grant privileges command per this page?
