Bit of a Luddite when it comes to this so bear with me with the following questions:
1) Is as the title asks even feasible? I have read different things that it is troublesome to not even doable? Can MySQL work with a router-based Windows SMB share (hard drive connected via usb of router). SMB is where my Kodi library is stored (Kodi sources linked). The SMB share is not mapped.
2) Followed everything here: MySQL - Official Kodi Wiki. I understand the Advanced Settings part no problem. Issues is using MySql Workbench trying to establish remote connection. Do I need to tick the (bind IP) box in the networking options settings for remote connection? If so, I am having trouble with Workbench making that change to config file
3) I am also confused about the config file, does that need to be on the SMB share drive also? All I have read it seems it (config file) needs to be letter drive addressed when it is on a legitimate NAS.
4) Found this video (MySQL Workbench: Connection Creation and Trouble Shooting (for beginners) (youtube.com) where some of it is familiar and I get lost on other parts. Is there any part of the video that would help?
If there is hope in doing this I will post the specific areas that I need addressed
Thanks
