[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 963837, member: 64243"] Could you please eleborate about this a little more?..as I might see a solution for my problem as well. I have tried allmost everything that I could find in this forum to solve my problem that I get every time this error: "Connection failed Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts" When that configuration panel pops, fill out the computer name, and hit the TEST button. What I have tried so far: - Tried to do a clean install of Mediaportal (1.2.3), after a deep uninstall, keeping the current MySQL install. - Uninstalled Mediaportal (deepest availbale) including TV server and MySQL, deleted all associated directories in Program files and Program data (as if no Mediaportal has ever been installed) - Uninstalled MySQL, while keeping Mediaportal and mediaportal TV Server, reinstalled My SQL using the Mediaportal installer (1.2.3 FINAL version) - Uninstalled MySQL, while keeping Mediaportal and mediaportal TV server, installing MySQL 5.6.xxx (=latest version available from the Oracle website), setting up with Username "root" and password "MediaPortal" - Tried all of the above, but then with Mediaportal 1.3.0 RC - Installed the loopback network adaptor, with IP 192.168.2.1 and tried that as the Host, no success (used that successfully before this ordeal started) - all of the above also tried with the Windows firewall turned off completely. - Tried to tweak the MySQL server and database using MySQL workbench, but I have not the knowledge to work with that. What happens all the time when I do a clean install including the MySQL server using the Mediaportal installer is that an error pops up that it cant set the password, when clicked that error away, installation stops, but when the installer is restarted, the installation shows MySQL is installed and continues with the TV Server and TV plugin installation. I can remember this was already so when I installed Mediaportal on Windows 7, about a year ago, but was never a problem. Note that this ordeal started after the database got corrupted, and I was unable to repair the database (according the command line instructions that can be found elsewhere in this wonderful forum). This happened a few month ago as well, and then I was able to get things right by uninstalling MySQL and reinstall, using the mediaportal installer, but this time this stubornly keeps failing. After thinking about this for a few hours now, I think it might be something else, outside of Mediaportal or MySQL. it might be the OS (Windows 8 Pro) itself that blocks the connection, maybe some freakin registry setting or something like that, a dll that is corrupted.. whatever. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
