Hi all
I have been using XBMC 12 for a long time and never really needed to upgrade that’s until now as there are some things not working much in xbmc 12 and would like some help on a couple of questions upgrading to Kodi 17.
Q1 I use a server to store my library information as I have 2 front ends and use MYSQL and would like to know can I still use the same advancedsettings.xml from xbmc for kodi ? I am starting a new library not transferring the old one.
MYSQL version 5.5
myvideos75.db
<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>***.***.*.**</host>
<port>****</port>
<user>****</user>
<pass>****</pass>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>***.***.*.**</host>
<port>****</port>
<user>****</user>
<pass>****</pass>
</musicdatabase>
<videolibrary>
<importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
<hideallitems>true</hideallitems>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>
Q2 will kodi over write the .db files from xbmc when creating a new library as I still want to use XBMC fro a couple of weeks until I sort and fully test kodi 17
Q3 when I add my videos to the library for kodi 17 it will not over write the files on my drive unless I export the library ? as I don’t want to do that until I fully use kodi 17 from xbmc12
Q4 I wake the pc and server at the same time and would like to know would kodi 17 just sit tere until the servers powered up as in xbmc it just hangs there until the server fully powers up but I am not to sure if kodi will do the same or if it will crash as the server takes time to fully power as the data base will be on there
Q5 any other things I need to look out for
thanks for any help
great program
