Since you say that you have the file in the right location I would check to make sure that it has the right file name. If it isn't one of those two things then I am not sure, someone with more experience may hopefully have some more ideas.

You do have your computer set to show all file extensions right? If not you make have a file called advancedsettings.xml but it really is something like advancedsettings.xml.txt with the .txt being hidden.

I thought of that too... it says "Type of file: XML Document (.xml)" under properties.
And I copied and pasted the name straight from the log file AND copied and pasted the path from the log file into explorer to make sure they were correct.
I even place the file into the /xbmc/system/ directory to see if it would grab it there!
For whatever reason, it looks like XBMC is ignoring the file.

Could the file itself be set up wrong? Like too many spaces, or not far enough from the top? I have no idea! lol

So.... I may have solved the problem. i took the .xml off of the file.
Importing library now, I will report back.

Well a database is being crated. I can see it now. So I am going to assume that was my problem.
File this one under "Do not follow the directions exactly!" lol

This mean anything to anybody?
16:14:19 T:2836 ERROR: Control 1 in window 10099 has been asked to focus, but it can't
16:14:47 T:2836 ERROR: SQL: Undefined MySQL error: Code (1062)
Query: insert into path (idPath, strPath, strContent, strScraper) values (NULL,'Y:\\TV\\','','')
16:14:47 T:2836 ERROR: CVideoDatabase::AddPath unable to addpath (insert into path (idPath, strPath, strContent, strScraper) values (NULL,'Y:\\TV\\','',''))
That is obviously my TV folder. But again, I can see and play the files there, they just will NOT show up under the TV Library!
My problem was that I didn't use sms path.

I need a little help! New to mysql and having a few problems. Have everything set up and sharing libraries from MySQL. But i'm struggling to apply the index tweaks in post #5 of this thread.
When I apply the code, it reports back:
Query OK, 0 records affected
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
But I have 200+ records in the movie table. Why are no records updated? Could it be an access problem? I'm logged into root.
thanks for any advice

I'm getting the error "firewall exception rule not applied" or something like that, when i get done with the initial configuration of MySQL.
I've forwarded the port 3306 in my router, and added an exception for the installer and the TCP/UDP ports in windows firewall.
I go through the user creation in the server and create the databases.
When running the command: SELECT host,user from mysql.user;
I get a return with the ip 127.0.0.1, instead of the machine ip. I'm lost. Should i be pointing the AS.xml to that ip address, or my machine's local ip, as set with the router?

I've read through this thread. I still can't get XBMC to perform using a shared mySQL database with a large video library.
I've applied all the mySQL tweaks
I've applied the SMB registry tweaks
I've used symlinks
I've tried syncing via SyncToy
I've tried Dharma
I've tried Eden
Tried MySql 5.1 and MySql 5.5
Still, the performance is atrocious if you have a large library, e.g. 1000+ movies. It takes 30-40 seconds to load. At this point, I am thinking sharing a large XMBC database among multiple XBMC clients isn't feasible practically. Technically it works, but the performance in loading the library isn't responsive enough.
Anything else I could check? Or are others also experiencing the same performance with 1000+ movies.
