Share libraries w/MySQL, guide:

  1. Introduction
  2. Setting up MySQL
  3. Setting up Kodi

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
  1. Configure the Master User profile:
    1. Open the Profile settings
    2. Modify the Master User profile
    3. Rename the profile, for example "Portable"
  2. Configure the Second profile:
    1. Create a new profile
    2. Enter a name for the second profile, for example "Home"
    3. Accept the default profile path
    4. Select "Separate" for "Media info" and "Media sources"
  3. 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>

See Setting up XMBC for more information.
