After several days of reading and trying to fix this myself, finally time to admit defeat and ask for some help here.
Have been trying to use a common library database between two Kodi installs using MySQL, and path substitutions in advancedsettings.xml. It works fine on the Windows laptop, but if I add my advancedsettings.xml to the userdata folder on the ATV2, Kodi won't launch. I get the spinning loading indicator, and then it dumps me back to the Apple interface. If I remove the advancedsettings.xml, then Kodi launches fine on the ATV2.
This was working fine using Gotham on both devices, so I am half expecting to be told this is one of those Kodi issues with ATV2, but figured I'd ask anyway, in case there was something simple I overlooked.
As I said, I have done some reading around, and attempted to troubleshoot this myself: obviously made sure I'm using the same version on both devices; I made sure the xml is set to use UNIX line endings, not Windows; and I've also made sure the xml has the correct permissions via PuTTY.
Relevant files: advancedsettings.xml | kodi.log | syslog | AppleTV_2015-02-08-174435_FishaTV.plist
Apologies if there is something really obvious in the logs to explain it. I am more used to dealing with Android crash logs.
