[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1151604, member: 82144"] To be clear: MediaPortal itself does not use MySQL at all. MySQL is used by TV Server (and the MediaPortal TV plugin). The MediaPortal installer only installs MySQL if you say you want to use MediaPortal for watching TV (which implies that the installer will be installing TV Server). In short, the fact that MySQL was already installed before running the MediaPortal installer says one of two things is true: [LIST=1] [*]MySQL was installed by the MediaPortal installer during a previous installation attempt. If this is the case, you should uninstall MediaPortal, TV Server and MySQL completely, and make sure to delete all leftover folders and files. [*]MySQL was installed by some other application or for some other purpose. If this is the case, you have to add an account as previously mentioned. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
