After I installed Media Portal 1, I do not have a TV Server Configuration Icon or file. Does anyone know what could have happened to it??
That's unnecessary. You could have simply said "yes" for the "use TV" choice:I selected Advanced because it said something about TV.
Yes, this was the wrong thing to do.Then when it came up to select a server I selected the last option because it said something about TV again. I know that is where I went wrong-I should have selected My SQL.
The wiki (manual) doesn't tell you what to select, but it does tell you the consequences of selecting each option. You're expected to be able to make the right choice for your scenario/setup. If you're finding this way too hard then you should consider whether MediaPortal is right for you, because this part is considered easy.The instructions don't tell you what to select and for a dummy like me I am just guessing!!
You could manually install your own database server (either SQL Server or MySQL), but based on what you've said I'm guessing you'd find a database server installer to be a nightmare. Therefore I do suggest you uninstall and reinstall again.Is there any way to get back to that frame where I can make the correct selection or do I have to uninstall and reinstall again?
