Following problem
I want to run my data base on my nas
advanced settings:
<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.178.39</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>kodi</user>
<pass>kodi</pass>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.178.39</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>kodi</user>
<pass>kodi</pass>
</musicdatabase>
</advancedsettings>
My nas ( asustor 602t) runs maria db
Installed via myphp Kodi uid and kodi password
After this it should woirk ( restarted etc)
It still creates the local data bases
Tried to delete all data bases , thumbnails, textures , no result
I can acces the data base
Most of the test i did was on windows 10
but also on a pi2 and a Fire stick
None of them will create the data base, the movies and Music files are on the nas and can be accesed and layed with Kodi
I read a lot but still missing something 
In the log file the only two entries i can see that could point at a problem are ;:
No settings file to load (special://xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml)
NOTICE: No settings file to load (special://masterprofile/advancedsettings.xml
any suggestions what to do next?
