[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1146760, member: 82144"] Thanks for clarifying. Okay. The only reason you will see the "connection failed" message is because the installer (actually SetupTv.exe running after the installer completes) is unable to connect to the database with the credentials you supply. If you're familiar with code, it's here: [URL]https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/3be86fa92307d922966f8613ea619020e542443d/TvEngine3/TVLibrary/SetupTv/SetupDatabaseForm.cs#L479[/URL] When you see the connection failed message: [LIST=1] [*]Which field(s) are red - database name, server host name, or both? [*]Are you using a host (computer) name or IP address? If using a host name, what happens if you try the IP address? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
