MySQL or advancedsettings.xml not keeping movies in library mode
#1
I'm annoyed as hell and spent all day trying to sync my XBMC interfaces across all my home devices but not having any luck:

Ubuntu 12.02:
XBMC 12.2
followed these instructions - http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...g_up_MySQL
mySql + SMB file sharing installed

Windows 7:
XBMC 12.2

The biggest annoyance is this:
When I don't use advancedsettings.xml on my Win7 pc, I can view my movies in library mode w/ scraping. But when I remove advancedsettings.xml, the view turns into file mode w/ no scraping. Is this normal or what the hell am I doing wrong?

I tried using the source as:
smb:\\pcname\media\folder
\\192.168.85.100\media\folder
Even when I choose C:\downloads - I get the same problem if advancedsettings.xml is there.

Any other better more detailed tutorials out there? I'm also new to ubuntu, so this is doubly frustrating.

How can I verify if my database is even working. What command do I use to browse mysql database to see what's in there?

How about including a debug log - it's the only way for us to tell what is going on with your system.

Chances are you've got an error in your advancedsettings.xml, most likely a typo or incorrect tag.

As for your sources, smb://pcname/media/folder would be the correct notation to use.

Don't use "\", use "/". MySQL will not work with "\".

Use this "smb://192.168.85.100/media/folder/"

There are two bright yellow boxes on this page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ng_up_XBMC that tell you this.

I'm good now!!

I have no idea what I did differently, just started from scratch again and it worked this time. Maybe a typo somewhere during my first attempt at setting this up.

thanks for yalls input!
