Hi,
i have the following setup:
1 Windows Home Server (storing all the Media, automatically powerd on demand via WOL from the HTPCs)
1 Raspberry Pi (hosting the MySQL-Library, 24/7 on)
2 HTPCs running the lates stable XBMC V12.2
All devices are hooked up to the same network with static IP Adresses.
I followed the My-SQL guide to the point where both HTPCs are nicely connected to the database.
During this process I added all the media containing folders to one of the HTPCs (Lets call it A) using IP adresses instead of netbios names. All the media imediately also appeared on HTPC B and also the watch status is being transfered. So fare everything seems to work nicely. However there is one issue with updating the library in order to add new content.
If I initiate the "update library" from HTPC A everything works nicely and the new content is also aviable on HTPC B. However if i initiate the update on HTPC B it only says "preparing". Then it stops after a couple of seconds without any further notice and without finding and adding the new content.
After some searching i found that on HTPC A under Videos-->Files all the mounted Folders are being listes whereas on HTPC B there is nothing. It seems like HTPC B only has access to the database, however it does not know where to look for new content. Since I'm a bit afraid of messing the database i did not yet try to add the same media containing folders to HTPC B. However judging from the wiki updating the library and adding new media should be possible from any client.
It would be great if someone could help me with my problem because it would be realy great being able to update new content form anywhere.
Best regards
