[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1057889, member: 82144"] Hello wjw First, I think it is possible to install MySQL 5.6 alongside MySQL 5.1. Second, yes the MpTvDb is the only database for TV Server... but MediaPortal has other settings files and SQLite databases. If you want to upgrade that is fine... but in my opinion it is only a "nice to have", not a necessity. In time this will become a non-issue as TVE 3.5 will come along. That will require a fresh install with MySQL 5.6+ or an alternate database system like SQLite. People asked about why we didn't automatically update MySQL 5.1 to 5.6.
