MySQL and Multiple Versions of XBMC
#1
I've got a tricky question regarding MySQL & running multiple versions of XBMC.
My setup is as follows:

Primary HTPC (openelec-pvr - xbmc v11)
ATV2 (iOS5.1, latest pvr version - xbmc 12)
NAS (runs tvheadend, mysql & samba shares)

unfortunately i cannot run the same version of XBMC across all devices as i need PVR and it's only available on the latest nightly for ATV2. Openelec is running the latest beta but it's only v11.

it looks like i currently have 2 databases in MySQL - MyVideos60 & MyVideos64, with 64 being the upgraded one for the ATV2.

my primary htpc does all the db updates, my ATV2 just reads the existing database.

now i'm guessing my htpc will only read db 60 and the ATV will only read 64 - as such the ATV2 will never get the new episodes/movies as they are added by the HTPC.

i'm considering dropping the 64 db on a nightly basis, so the ATV2 will pick up the old db and upgrade it again - thus bringing all the new info/watch status into the ATV2, but i'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.. i'm not particularly bothered about losing the watched status from the ATV as its not used anywhere nearly as frequent as the primary pc.

does anyone have any better ideas on how to keep everything nicely in sync?

That should work.
