XMBC and MySQL

[mk01]

with mysql, the steps to check would be:
1) check whether mysql is accessible from .101 itself. for instance with:

Code:

mysql -u user_name_you_set -p

2) check whether the mysql is accessible for the user from other IPs (by default the access is just for localhost (127.0.0.1). you can do that still from the optiplex.

Code:

mysql -u user_name_you_set -h 192.168.1.101 -p

3) then check this from RPI…

btw: /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log is quite useful in that case, what is in on the RPI?
