You can use the same database. This allows you to click on any Kodi. See in the house. What you’ve been watching. Before you start this tutorial. Must Kodi will be installed on a Device. Your Kodi database isn’t moving.

Get Kodi database filled

We’ll be the first to create an advancedsettings.xeml file in your Kodi.

I do this from a Windows computer. Kodi can often be accessed by default from your network. You just need to know the local ip address.

We fill the advancedsettings.xml with the following

<advancedsettings>
<video database>
<type > mysql < /type>
<host > ip address synology < /host>
<port > 3307 < /port>
<user > root likely and otherwise likely < admin/user>
<pass > MySQL password (which you just created) < /pass>

<music database>
<type > mysql < /type>
<host > ip address synology < /host>
<port > 33307 < /port>
<user > root likely and otherwise likely < admin/user>
<pass > MySQL password (which you just created) < /pass>

The following is optional. You need to add this after < /musicdatabase > and for < /advancedsettings >

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from > < special://profile/sources.xml/from>
<to>nfs://ip address synology/map/to/sources.xml < /to>
</substitute>

<substitute>
<from > < special://profile/mediasources.xml/from>
<to>nfs://ip address synology/map/to/mediasources.xml < /to>
</substitute>

<substitute>
<from > < special://profile/favourites.xml/from>
<to>nfs://ip address synology/map/to/favourites.xml < /to>
</substitute>

<substitute>
<from > < special://profile/playlists//from>
<to>nfs://ip address synology/map/to/playlists/ < /to>
</substitute>

<substitute>

Synology map sharing in network with Lunix device as a Raspberry pi with Kodi

I use a raspberry pi to watch my movies. So I also need to share a folder on my Synology. Got another Lunix based device. Then this works exactly the same.

Dan Browse.

Then opt for Network file system (nfs)

Then the ip addresses of your Synology will appear.

Then select the correct folder.

And then click Ok.

You will now get the above question. Select the information provider.

And then back to the o’r.

You will then get the question above. Now begins to scan your movies. And would put everything in the database. Your Synology should be stored.

If you have a not all too fast Kodi device. Then do this by movie folder. And not too much at once. Otherwise, it could get stuck.

Check if the Kodi database is being created

Go to the Package center.

Go to All Packages in install phpMyAdmin.

WebStation and php 5 will be included during this installation. Because without phpMYAdmin can not.

If PhpMyadim is installed. Click open. The page above will appear.

If you are logged in.

Now you see on the left a database with the name.

If all went well, you’re done now.

If nothing appears in the database Please check your advancedsettings.xml file. A wrong user name or password may be the problem. Or you don’t have a firewall rule on your Synology.
