The Droid TV thread

Out of interest sake, if there is a new firmware version of the MX3 or MXQ, does Jaque make that available via OTA? Or do we all just send our boxes to him to update?


2nd point, is how has non of the other MXQ owners suffered this freeze? Am I just the unlucky one that got punished for nagging?

No OTA just yet, no he send a link to the file.
 
Ok, so query.

I really dig the XBMC interface, and it's convinced me to move the whole system to XBMC.
I am having issues in setting up the MySQL side of things in order to share my XBMC library (I don't really want the UPnP set up)

The MySQL keeps saying it is taking too long to configure, anyone had any issues like that? Or any pointers on how to get this done nicely?

Strange. I've never had any issues by following the official guide. Installed about 3 times already without seeing that message.

Followed that to the letter. Going to uninstall and reinstall again and see. It sat ALL night "Your configuration is taking quite a while"

Going to try 5.5 instead of 5.6 as well.

I AM NOT GOING TO FACTORY RESET THE MXQ. NO NAY NEVER.. :D im waiting on Oscar to send me the replacement power supplies to see if that will do the trick. Failing that, ill see if Jaque can have it checked out. failing that, then i hope he will swap out for a MX3 :whistle: ;)

Right 5.5 install worked nicely. However, 2.2 fails on this:
1. Open the "MySQL Command Line Client" from the MySQL start menu
2. Enter the following commands:
2.1. Type in: CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc'; and press return
2.2. Type in: GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc'; and press return
3. Close out the command line tool

It created the user fine, but it won't assign the permissions :/
I get "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'%' (using password: YES)"

Run this command

grant all on *.* to 'xbmc'@'%' identified by 'xbmc';
 
I am going bloody batty with this f-ing MySQL setup.

Really wishing XBMC was simple as Plex. No bloody MySQL DB creations and fart arsing around. I just want to be able to access my bloody library from my Media Server. Why is that so hard!

im just going batty, thats all. why not install something else on the Droid, that might be easier to share with your server? why the need to use XBMC for this purpose?

I would use Plex but the Android interface isn't that great (looks wise and remote use).
The XBMC interface works so nicely, esp with the remote, and looks great. Plus it's easy enough to use (i.e. by people other than me).

I have got the library shared via UPnP, but it's only accessible under the "Videos" option. I want my movies under "Movies" and my series under "TV Shows". I want them to show me when there is new stuff and when I watch it on the MXQ I want it to update it on the server that it is watched.

Bear in mind, I have to teach others how to use this, so the convulated way of accessing via UPnP is just going to frustrate others who will frustrate me and end in divorce or death.

Ta. Will do so now :)

Flipping MySQL 5.6 was a stuff up. Note to anyone else: Use 5.5!!!

*update*
Still gives me the same error :/ I am clearly doing something wrong :o
