I've been using MediaPortal for 20 or so years. Last night it recorded perfectly. This arvo it doesn't - will run videos but not record; only discovered this because I wanted to set new shows to record at the beginning of the week. So I reinstalled, using MP1 on W10 86 version. Previously had run 1.21, last installed in 2019 I think, but today I couldn't reinstall that, as it said there was no internet connection - weird. Using the new MP1, I had to do several installs to get a clean one. But I still can't get TVServer to run. The configuration doesn't accept User-PC. I know there's been issues there in the past but I can't for the life of me remember the solution I found. (This time I'll take a screen shot once it's fixed!!) After various tries, currently the "Setup Database Connection" screen comes up, but when I try to test it I get "Connection failed. Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts". I'm using User-PC, which is the name of my computer - it's on a network, to get an internet connection, but server and client are the same computer. The hostname field is highlighted in red. Dependency is MySQL (highlighted in lime green), Schema name is MpTvDb, user ID is root and password I haven't touched. MySQL 5.1 and 5.6 folders exist on my computer but I don't knowingly used them, so can't comment on their health. As you will have gathered, a couple of reboots ago I was getting the hostname rejected. But not now, though as it's highlighted in red I assume it's a problem.
I have four tuners, etc, but that doesn't seem to be where the problem is.
Help, please. I'm missing two new TV programmes this evening, the start of shows for the new year!
