Hello all ![Blush]( "Blush")
,
I've been trying for days, but I can not get it to work.
Start data:
- XBMC FRODO 12 on Windows 8 HTPC
- Synology DS1812+ with DSM 4.0 as central file server for movies, music and pics
- Cabled LAN network
What works
The HTPC with Frodo on it can read and play the movies on the Synology fine (via SMB).
What doesn't work
As I have two HTPC's, I want the XBMC Library stored centrally on the Synology. This I can not get to work
What did I do
At first, I followed this tutorial (mentioned in the XBMC Wiki): http://www.robvanhamersveld.nl/2013/02/0...other-nas/
That didn't work. There is no data sent to the SQL-database, as I can see in the MyPhp-GUI (status).
Then I discovered a new tutorial, also mentioned in the Wiki (from this, I learned the first tuto is incomplete, it is missing the GRANT ALL instruction in SQL while creating a user), and it doesn't mention the 'substitute'-topic in advancedsettings.xml). This tutorial is the second one: http://quixventure.com/2011/12/configure...-for-xbmc/
So I decided, and I probably did something stupid here, to delete the stuff from the first tutorial in SQL: I deleted both the user ('xbmc') and the two databases (video and music).
I followed the second tutorial, but again, there is no data sent to SQL, and the two databases are not recreated which, if I understand it correctly, is what needs to be done when XBMC goes to the Synology the first time.
So I deinstalled PhPMyAdmin on the Synology, and reinstalled it. Still, no databases are created by XBMC and no data is sent to the SQL-database when XBMC is scraping the video directory.
I have been puzzling with this for days now, but I am lost![Frown]( "Frown")
Would anybody know how to tackle this? At one way or the other, I need to get back to the start position (situation zero) with the SQL-databases (I think), because XBMC refuses to create them.
Any help would be most highly appreciated, thank you in advance extremely very much![Big Grin]( "Big Grin")
