Default username/pwd for SQL? (1 Viewer)

[Bobalicious]

Hi all,

I am approx at the 20 hour mark on my HTPC install and finally everything is working for me as it should except epg.

I initially tried with GetOzTvGuide though for some reason couldnt get it working so now am trying "Oz TV Guide Downloader"

located here:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/electronic-program-guide-67/australian-tv-guide-24047/


now this one writes directly to the MP database.. and as such needs the login credentials.. now i could have sworn default was sa:MediaPortal though it is not accepting these.

Can someone remind me what the default username and pwd are for SQL? And also confirm this is the SQL 2005 Express that is uses?

Thanks very much.

now i could have sworn default was sa:MediaPortal

@Bobalicios: there's an option to change the password when you install for the first time - you didn't change that, did you? (Clutching at straws here, admittedly)

fixed sql tv server logon issue

after searching and searching for a day or so, I finally downloaded SQL Server Mangement Studio Express from Microsoft

Download details: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

This allowed me to easily figure out how to reset the password for user 'sa'
Open SQL Server Mangement Studio Express
Open 'your computer name\SQLEXPRESS
Open Security folder
Open Login folder
Open user 'sa'
retype password MediaPortal hit enter
Go back to TV Server Config and open
TYPE password MediaPortal hit enter
at this point I new I did right cause it said it wanted to login, but user 'sa' was disabled
so now go back to the screen where you opened user 'sa'
in the upper left hand corner there is a prompt to 'Select page'
Click the page 'Status'
once opened, you will see Login enabled or disabled. Select enabled
click ok
Login to TV Server Config.

Next Problem I found was my Hybrid tuner Card was not loading as a Hybrid, but only as analog
I found out why.
I use Comcast Cable to recieve a digital signal.
When TV Server scan for channels it only picked up Analog channels. At first I thought something was wrong. then I learned through Wikipedia and the folks at AVerMedia that cable companies use QAM to send out a signal. QAM is capable of sending out both Analog and Digital signals. My tuner card is good for Analog and ATSC, but not QAM compatible. So it picks up analog signals. ATSC and Digital Cable 'QAM' are not the same. So in order for me to get the digital cable I need to get a new card. My current card is a pci express mini card specially tailored for an HP-all-in-one desk top. I have no open slots, so I either have to go USB or find a card to replace the existing one. Haven't found a card yet. Anyway that's my story, hope it helps someone out there.
