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
Main page: Profiles
- Configure the Master User profile:
- Open the Profile settings
- Modify the Master User profile
- Rename the profile, for example "Portable"
- Configure the Second profile:
- Create a new profile
- Enter a name for the second profile, for example "Home"
- Accept the default profile path
- Select "Separate" for "Media info" and "Media sources"
- Enable the login screen to select a profile on startup
Configure the MySQL profile
Create a new file "advancedsettings.xml" in userdata/profiles/<username>/:
<advancedsettings> <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> </videodatabase> <musicdatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> </musicdatabase> </advancedsettings>
