"Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist."

xbmc_video and xbmc_music is not standard. look point 5.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_MySQL/Advanced_notes

anytime you can override the names in advancedsettings.xml like this (xbmc will ALWAYS add version number (of the DB template, not XBMC version) as suffix):

<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>xbmcdb.private</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>USERNAME</user>
<pass>PASSWORD</pass>
<name>xbmc_MyVideos</name>
</videodatabase>

<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>xbmcdb.private</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>USERNAME</user>
<pass>PASSWORD</pass>
<name>xbmc_MyMusic</name>
</musicdatabase>

Ah ok. :-) Thanks.

I have the rest setup as I have several different Macs using a shared resource of my synology NAS, but would like to know what is the easiest way to copy over my sources.xml and advancedsettings.xml files from one of my macs to the pi. I assume this can be done in terminal via ssh? Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the terminal to make a new file. SSH into the PI and browse to the folder where the file is stored. Use nano advancedsettings.xml to open the file in nano and you can edit it from there.
