Hello!
I’ve just ordered a new AndroidTV and I plan to swith from a PC-HDMI-TV (kodi)-solution to a network based Kodi configuration. I have been using kodi (or xbmc) for years now and I’m quite familliar with it’s interface and usage, altough the v17 is still rather strange to me.
Anyhow, I’m fairly unfamiliar with servers and network configurations and since I’m having some troubles setting everything up – I’m turning to you guys for some help and advice.
I’ve tried to read up on things and as I mainly want to use my AndroidTV as a viewing point, while still be able to manage my library from the PC, a MySQL solution sounded like a fit for me. This should also allow me keep track and continue watching on a different device, if I’m not mistaken. Mainly what I want to do is keep track of watched no matter which device marks them and be able to edit fanart/names/sets from any device. If there is a better way for this then MySQL – I’m all ears!
I’ve a PC with a static network IP to on which I’ve just installed MySQL in accordance with instructions given in: http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Setting_up_M…ab=Windows
I then continued to set up kodi with an advancedsettings.xml in line with http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Setting_up_Kodi
Unfortunately I’m not able to figure out how map the network drive to start scraping (I have a local folder export). No matter what I do it won’t start creating a database, either if I try a local path or network path. I don’t know whether to choose smb or NFS, I don’t know if I am supposed to add a password or not – neither which one. Tbh, I have no idea what I’m doing nor what i am supposed to do..
Sorry for bad English!
