Vero V and Synology and shared database

Help and Support Vero V
1

I have a Vero V, a Vero 4k, and and Synology NAS all on the same local network. The nas holds all my movies, tvshows and music. I have installed mariadb and phpmyadmin on the nas but after that I get lost. Is there a up to date wiki howto that I have missed or can’t find? I’m sure it must be relatively straight forword but am loooking for guidance. I believe I need to do the following.

  • path to dir on the NAS is /volume1/data/media/movies or /tvshows or /music
  • make a database in phpmyadmin, lets call it osmc
  • grant that database rights to the Vero…not sure how?
  • from the Vero go to the mysql database screen and …?
    Any pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers, Al

Here’s the section of the Kodi wiki on setting up and using MySQL/MariaDB.

https://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL

You don’t actually need to create the database. If you create a user with full permissions and use that following the settings above, Kodi will create the needed databases.

The part you have as your last bullet is the stuff from the Kodi wiki that talks about the advanced settings file. With OSMC you can fill that stuff out from the GUI instead of manually editing a file.
