I recently and got my Raspberry Pi and I have installed xbian beta 1.1 on it. I connected it to my network and TV and have it running. I also have my Mac which I have installed XBMC 12.2 on. So I wanted to sync up the RPi and Mac with the videos and music via MySQL. They both are fresh installs so I
I have a Win7 running MySQL 5.6 on the network, I followed this guide: MySQL setup to set up the database on my Mac and RPi.
On Win7 I also added a firewall rule to allow inbound connections on port 3306.
I followed this guide to setup my External HD(which is connected to the Win7 machine, uses SMB). I only share two folders over the network from the HD (Videos and Music).
So finally I started my restarted my RPi and added the Movies and TV Shows folder inside of the Videos folder. RPi/XBMC scanned the folders and updated the MySQL tables(I checked the tables using Workbench).
I restarted RPi just in case, and now I see two more options on the main menu, (Movies and TV Shows) but when I click on them, they dont show me the movies or the shows that I have. I have the same problem on the Mac, the Tv Shows and Movies options are added but the menu isnt populated.
How do I fix this? Did I miss a step somewhere?
