Is MYSQL support broken?

[convertapple]

I have mysql working fine with Kodi 17.6. I clone a profile to MrMc but it doesn't work. I set the content type, it wants to rescan but picks up nothing! Here's the relevant bit from my AdvancedSettings.xml

Code: Select all

</advancedsettings>
  <pathsubstitution>
    <substitute>
		<from>special://thumbnails/</from>
		<to>smb://192.168.1.9/roshare/thumbnails/</to>
    </substitute>
  </pathsubstitution>

  <videodatabase>
	<name>othervideo</name>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.1.9</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>kodi</user>
    <pass>kodi</pass>
  </videodatabase> 
  <musicdatabase>
	<name>othermusic</name>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.1.9</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>kodi</user>
    <pass>kodi</pass>
  </musicdatabase>
</advancedsettings>

Use the gui settings for mysql, advancedsettings are ignored.
