I have Mediaportal installed, which uses a MySQL database and I want to setup a central database for XBMC, running on this PC and a RPi, as well.
I'm just nervous about following the guides like this http://lifehacker.com/5634515/how-to-syn...-the-house or this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ab=Windows as they're obviously not designed to take my circumstances into consideration and I'm worried I'll mess up the Mediaportal database.
I see the first commands to be run are Create USER followed by Create Database which suggests a separate database will be used for XBMC but before that, when installing MySQL it talks about selecting a password for the database, which is a bit confusing if it hasn't been created yet and suggests that there's some global settings that will apply to both the MP and XBMC databases.
