MySQL/Portable devices and profiles

If you use your device (notebook or mobile iOS device) in multiple situations, you can create multiple profiles. You can use one profile at home, using a central MySQL database and another profile for use when travelling.

First create two profiles. Configure one profile for "local use" (internal HDD only, while traveling, etc) and another for using a central database. You can even make profiles for different wifi networks that have different centralized databases (your home, a friend's home, etc).

Create profiles

 * 1) Configure the Master User profile:
 * 2) Open the Profile settings
 * 3) Modify the Master User profile
 * 4) Rename the profile, for example "Portable"
 * 5) Configure the Second profile:
 * 6) Create a new profile
 * 7) Enter a name for the second profile, for example "Home"
 * 8) Accept the default profile path
 * 9) Select "Separate" for "Media info"  and "Media sources"
 * 10) Enable the login screen to select a profile on startup

Configure the MySQL profile
Create a new file "advancedsettings.xml" in userdata/profiles/ /: mysql ***.***.***.***        3306         kodi kodi

mysql ***.***.***.***        3306         kodi kodi
