Hi,

i use XBMC in my Network with a Client-Server-Model with MySQL.
In May all runs fine, then i moved to a another village. Two Weeks ago was the first chance to install the old System. But: XBMC doesn't show Covers an Fanarts anymore! I update to Gotham 12.3 but it doesn't show them on the Server or Client.

My advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
  <type>mysql</type>
  <host>192.168.178.28</host>
  <port>3307</port>
  <user>xbmc</user>
  <pass>xbmc</pass>
  <name>xbmc_video</name>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
  <type>mysql</type>
  <host>192.168.178.28</host>
  <port>3307</port>
  <user>xbmc</user>
  <pass>xbmc</pass>
  <name>xbmc_music</name>
</musicdatabase>
<pathsubstitution>
  <substitute>
   <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
   <to>\\HTPC\xbmcthumbs</to>  
  </substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>

The Path "\\HTPC\xbmcthumbs" works, i can read and write.
I deleted the TexturesXX.db - nothing happens.
I deleted the soruces und scrapped all new - nothing happens.

So load my MySQL-Dump, looked in the MySQL-Workbench and found the fields with the paths to the covers and fanarts. But hey? There are no FilePath, but InternetURLs? And they work??
I post them reduced:

Field c8;

Code:

What is wrong?

I hope you can follow me in spite of my bad english and you can help me.

1, you shouldn't use pathsubs unless you need to get more space for storing thumbnails, and even in that case you should make sure that each XBMC install is using a different location and not sharing the pathsub.

2, XBMC v13 doesn't like the \\SERVER\Folder" format for SMB paths. You should use "smb://SERVER/Folder/" instead. Be sure to use "smb://" and use forward slashes "/" instead of backslashes "\".

2.) Works! Fine! Great! Thank You so Much!

1.) Ok, but how i can change this in the easiest way? Specially without scrapping all new?
