[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 963731, member: 64243"] I have been trying to do a clean install the whole night on a windows 8 pro HTPC, but fails big time! During installation of the MySql server an error appears that it cant set the password, when clicked that away, install continues, but them when I try to start the TvServer config, I get the same error's as above.. "Connection failed Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts" I also tried to install MySQL 5.6 first and make sure the password is MediaPortal, and then install Mediaportal and tell the installer that the MySQL is allready there. But Same error again. During some of my attempts I also got the error: Server did not allow connection to the MySQL database (or something similar, during the database connection procedure right after double clicking the Tv Server config icon) Please help, I have tried everything and do not know what to do next. BTW, this whole ordeal started when I got a BSOD, and the TV database got corrupted and was unable to start live TV. Repair as instructed here on the site did not work (it could not repair the database). It is really a shame this happens, it has been working pretty well for quite some time on this windows 8 machine. [/QUOTE]
