Hi:
I've been struggling with this for some days and have tried everything in my knowledge (even start the database from scratch). I have an iMac and a appletv (black). The xvmc version is the same (xbmc 12.0).
I use a mysql database to share information between all devices.
I used to do this with 2 appletv and I have no problems. But when one stops functioning I'm trying to install xbmc on a Mac but still want to share the databse with the remaining atv.
The advanced settings file is changed in imac and in Appletv to use mysql.
The contents is (the only part different on the imac is the path on the path substitution):
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.1.254</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc_video</name>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.1.254</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>xbmc</user>
<pass>xbmc</pass>
<name>xbmc_music</name>
</musicdatabase>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>nfs://MR-iMac.home/Volumes/Share HD/Shared Items/Xbmc/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
In mysql I have 2 databases: xbmc_music32 and xbmc_video75. Xbmc user has privileges.
If I mark a movie as watched the other one will not recognize the same movie as watched. If i change a picture for a movie it wont change in the other device.
What is the problem here?
I have tested and checked everything (I think). I can see the database changing using either device on first scanning. So they are using the same database but not sharing updates....I also notice that some series are marked as watched in first scanning which seems strange.
Update (could be the problem): I update the library on applettv and I have 68 rows affected on the table xvmc_video75.tvshow. In the iMac and scaning for the first time 68 new rows wered added to the table.....
<The path for the sources in the appletv is nfs://MR-iMac.home/Volumes/Share HD/Shared Items/Media/TVSeries/ and in the iMac its /Volumes/Share HD/Shared Items/Media/TVSeries/
I have dropped the databases and start everything from scratch. I loose the library I had...I want to start it all over again but I need to be sure that everything is syncing.
Thanks for the help. If this is not the right forum pls let me know.
