DataBase

So as requested here is data on the SQL database thing I was speaking of.


So in advanced settings you could call a SQL database like this::

Code: Select all

<videodatabase>
  <type>mysql</type>
  <host>X.X.X.X</host>
  <name>kodi_video</name>
  <user>kodi</user>
  <pass>kodi</pass>
</videodatabase>

This allowed you to use one central repository to link multiple kodi devices. So for example, if you watch, start, stop a show/movie on one device, you could pickup where you left off on another. Watched status's were in sync as well. And adding another box, just needed to link to DB and everything was there. So you only had one source to link up to and make backups for and everything was in sync.


Here is the URL for the koi DP topic so you can get a much better understanding.

Code: Select all

Maybe I don't understand what you're getting at here.

In MrMC you can set this info up, in the System > Services > MySQL menu (this is new functionality, not found in Kodi), rather than hard coding it in to the advancedsettings.xml file.

It's simple and works beautifully here.

Ok see that was my question in the other thread. Before I snag it and switch back from plex I needed to have that functionality. I was unaware you had built it in
