Illuminado posted:Being a terrible novice with MySQL, I've seen a couple guides to set up your library to sync with a SQL server, but couldn't really get it to work right. Is there a particular guide that any of you would recommend? I'm no stranger to a command line, but I pretty much copy/paste SQL commands in as I have no godly idea what I'm doing. Yes just follow the instructions on the xbmc wiki, I am pretty sure a link is also in the OP.

And are you sure you are using the right build? Something is wrong with your setup. The great thing is you can just unplug your usb drive! Or did you install OE on your hard drive?

Le0 posted:How do you guys manage fanarts? I leave it to sickbeard but I have absolutely no control on it so sometimes it download weird formats. Yeah like therm said there is essentially no reason to export metadata from any of these programs. XBMC scans files great now. I have a Harmony smart control with my AD10. I use the internal receiver because my hub is strong enough to blast to it. I set it up as a "Zotac AD10" device.

The Gunslinger posted:I just got a Harmony Smart Control to replace an aging Harmony 700, did you have to do any special configuration for extra buttons in XBMC or did everything with the Zotac AD10 device in the Harmony software? Also I really wish this thing was backlit, bummer I didn't need to set anything up special, sorry. It doesn't work in Windows but Openelec handles the commands just fine. I wish it was backlit as well, but no lcd screen and no backlit means 1+ year battery life. You can always use your iphone/ipad. And since I am a finally getting a tablet I decided to pretty much go as full Plex as I can so I can take advantage of the PMS. I am running Plexbmc with the Amber skin, and its been working great. kri kri fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Jul 29, 2013 |

I've been testing out Plex for shits and giggles. How in the hell do you find stuff that Plex wasn't able to scan? In xbmc you can go into the files view and see it, but there isn't an option to see unscanned files that I can find.

EC posted:I've looked into that before, but my 7 year old MX-810 feels better than any of the recent Harmony stuff. I actively hate the Harmony software as well, even the custom coded bullshit UR puts out works better. I will say that Logitech has a better IR code database, so I still keep an ancient Harmony around when I need to teach a code to my main remote. We don't have a harmony thread (rip) but the web-based interface is much better than the older software. Plus everything is updated via wifi so you don't even need to plug in your remote. I can't say enough good things about my smart control, I would like backlight, but I feel the trade off is more than worth it. The biggest thing is since it doesn't have an LCD it can last over a year on a little battery.

I tried it only a month or two back and despite the usual 'it works fine' comments, once again it was the culprit of bringing my system to its knees. Where you using trakt utilities or another 3rd party addon? I had issues with those, but the official trakt xbmc has worked well since I switched over.

Everything mysql related is spelled out in the wiki article. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_MySQL I use mysql + trakt myself. Once you set it up its literally never think about it again. I have had this setup for a couple of years I think.

There looks to be a xbmc plugin based on plexbmc, and it looks like they are almost ready to release their client for windows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw29LTGagDY The best part is the project is open source. https://github.com/MediaBrowser kri kri fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Nov 11, 2013 |

redhalo posted:Arctic is excellent as well. Really there's nothing to lose by installing them all and trying them yourself. Yeah this, keep in mind too the author sometimes has their own repo, its worth just tooling about the xbmc forums looking. On anther note I am tryng out gotham and the subtitle integration is a lot better IMO now. They took the subtitles addon and included much of it right into xbmc core. I had tried to use Plex full time for a month or so and just trying to get subtitles to work was a pain, so I am back to xbmc. Hopefully mediabrowser3 will start getting better support for xbmc. It doesn't seem like the xbmc cares about a server based model, but from testing out MB3 its pretty drat slick. e: just looked and I see the xbmc mb3 is in the official repo now: http://mediabrowser3.com/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-27-xbmb3c-the-mediabrowser-xbmc-addon-version-075-release/ kri kri fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jan 22, 2014 |
