I recently added a second Zotac Zbox units to my home and followed this guide in an attempt to share libraries between the two units but I'm having problems:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=172548
Here is some information on my setup in case it helps:
- Both units are identical -- Zotac Zbox ID84 running OpenELEC 3.2.4 (Frodo)
- Content is stored on a central server with Limetech UnRaid (Disk 1, Parity Disk, Cache Disk)
- The MySQL profile I set up has both the user and password set to "JefCel"
Here are the steps that I have gone through:
STEP 1:
- Installed MySQL on UnRaid on Disk 1
STEP 2:
- Installed OpenELEC XBMC 3.2.4 (Frodo) on the bedroom ZBox (wireless connection)
- Created an "advancedsetting.xml" file with the correct IP (192.168.0.106), User (JefCel), and Password (JefCel)
STEP 3:
- Set up fileshares and scraped library on bedroom ZBox
- The MySQL library in Disk 1 seemed to grow in size (good!)
STEP 4:
- Realized that I should have installed MySQL to the Cache Drive instead of Disk 1
- "Re-installed" MySQL on UnRaid on Cache. Strangely, I didn't see a way to uninstall MySQL from Disk1 in UnRaid, so both my Disk1 and Cache drives have a MySQL folder. I'm not sure if that's an issue or not.
STEP 5:
- Completely reinstalled OpenELEC XBMC 3.2.4 (Frodo) on the bedroom ZBox
- Created an "advancedsetting.xml" file with the correct IP (192.168.0.106), User (JefCel), and Password (JefCel)
STEP 6:
- Set up fileshares and scraped library on bedroom ZBox
- The MySQL library in Cache seemed to grow in size (good!)
STEP 7:
- Installed OpenELEC XBMC 3.2.4 (Frodo) on the livingroom ZBox (wired connection)
- Copied the "advancedsetting.xml" file from the bedroom ZBox to the Livingroom Zbox
STEP 8:
- Booted the livingroom zbox and the bedroom library appeared -- yay!
- Played a moving on livingroom ZBox, pressed stop, and checked to see that bedroom ZBox started the movie at that position. It worked -- awesome!
STEP 9:
- Powered off the bedroom ZBox
- Powered on the bedroom ZBox -- the library is gone I can still see the fileshares, but the "TV Shows" and "Movies" libraries are completely empty
STEP 10:
- Checked the boot log on the bedroom ZBox with the following result (showing errors): http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=113144
- Strangely, the log is showing that the loaded "advancedsettings.xml" to has <user>USER</user> and <pass>PASSWORD</pass>, even though the XML file in the userdata folder has "JefCel". Even more strange is that the loaded IP address (192.168.0.106) is correct. Could the User and Pass be my problem since they don't align with the MySQL profile?
- I tried deleting and creating a new XML file, but got the same thing in the log
So that's my problem -- are there any experts out there who can help me out? I would really appreciate the help Please let me know if you need any more info!
Thanks!
