Is there any way of using a central mysql database without giving xbmc root access to mysql?
Ideally, I like to restrict access to a single database. Letting xbmc create and copy databases and it having access to my other (non-xbmc) databases scares the hell out of me.
Cheers,
Tim

XBMC doesn't need root access, and it only needs access to create databases for the initial set up or for an upgrade to a later version. So once XBMC has created its databases you can go and restrict the hell out of it and it will be happy as long as it can read and write to just the XBMC MySQL databases.
You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc |

Thanks, it looks like I didn't read the optional part of the wiki page. It seems to be working well.
