I've XBMC 12.2 running on my home server.
I've already configured it with a MySQL db, and now wanted my XBian B1.0/B1.1 to use that db.
I've put the same advancedsettings.xml in it, but it does not seem work very well.
I've followed to the letter the topic on the XBMC wiki, but I could not do the same on the Xbian one because the wiki seems to be down
(http://www.xbian.org/contact-and-support/tutorials/ )

Anyone here uses a shared db?
I've also tried exporting an XBMC backup from my 'main' machine and restoring it to my Pi.. but to no avail :/

Thanks everyone!

Hi,
Yes, XBian works quite well with a shared db.

A few things...

• An xbmc.log would be helpful.
• What does "it does not seem work very well" mean?
• You haven't indicated what OS your home server is. (my guess is you haven't shared the files on your server properly)
  

1) I'll provide the log ASAP
2) Sorry, I was not clear at all, my fault. I mean that 'strange' things do happen: I have to add folders manually on the Pi, most of the times it does not find items wich are on the DB, when it finds them, the movie poster on the Pi is different from the one on the main machine, even tho they should be using the same db (but not the same thumb cache it seems)
3) My main machine is W7x64, using XBMC 12.2.. I had the idea that xbmc configurations should be identical (The main machine, even tho the disks are local to it, points to the same SMB shares the pi is going to use)

Thanks!
