![]() ![]() The trouble was I was now maintaining two systems, one Plex for a NowTV box and my work laptop for when I travelled and then ‘normal’ Kodi DB for the main playback machines. This was a much nicer experience than managing my data via MariaDB – using a central system with a nice GUI that then managed my library across multiple devices meant I could check the metadata and ensure that I had the right artwork. Migrating to newer versions of Kodi could still be an issue if the DB structure changed, but again, once the library was re-scanned by one machine, it was available to all the others.įor various reasons – mostly that I had a couple of white NowTV boxes hanging around – I also installed Plex as a plugin on the unRAID 5 box. I still needed to scan for new content on one device and update the DB, but at least it was on only one and not on all of them. Just install a MariaDB container, set up the user and off you go. Moving to unRAID 6 with it’s Docker eco-system made it even easier – no longer manually installing and maintaining the DB somewhere. When this capability was introduced by using a central MySQL database I was happy – especially as it meant that rebuilds on low power devices would no longer taken hours as the entire library was rescanned. As someone with several Kodi boxes floating around the house, I had always wanted the ability to synchronise both my library and my view state across the boxes. ![]()
