The installer won't install a (new) MySQL server but you can use the existing MySQL instance of the TvServer if exists.

If not installed? Or is there from Kodi? How to be?

Do you have an installed TvServer machine?

1. If you do not have a server pc you need to select one client an install to a MySql database.
2. You can download the installer from here. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
3. The root password: MediaPortal.
4. You need to add the name of the database host to the MediaPortal.xml

Ie If I already have installed on a separate server MySQL (there is no media portal), I need to change the root password, and register the server to all clients with media portals?

Yes. You need to add the following entry to MediaPortal.xml

  <section name="tvservice">
    <entry name="hostname">xxxxx</entry>
  </section>

xxxxx = host name of the mysql server

Yes. You need to add the following entry to MediaPortal.xml

Password can not be somewhere to register? And even when I was raised TV server, there was not the same password as you wrote ...
