Hi,

I have both SQL and MYSQL installed on my Media Portal server, but I don't know which one is in use by Media Portal.
Is there any way to tell?
Thanks!

    Open a TVServer.log file that shows the startup of the TVServer and look for:
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: Initializing TVServer
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: 1 init attempt
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [PowerEventThread] [DEBUG] - TV service PowerEventThread message loop is running
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\gentle.config
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: using SQLServer database connection: Password
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: started at SERVER

    In this case MSSQL is used. MYSQL would show "MySQL" instead.

    Alternatively open gentle.config at C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server and check which <DefaultProvider Name> is uncommented

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    I removed all sign of MySQL, rebooted, did a clean reinstall. It reinstalled 5.6, But I've still got both the same problem - unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts. And Hostname is still in red. I don't understand - this is a dedicated TV computer. Unless an update did this I don't know why there's a problem in the...

    To be fair the normal uninstall is usually more than sufficient. I regularly uninstall and reinstall MP 1 as part of the testing process and only very rarely have I needed to use the manual procedure posted by @CyberSimian to overcome the error you ran into. I also believe there is a procedure to repair the MySQL install in the event...

    I uninstalled MP, made sure no sub folders were left n any programmes folders, changed the computer name, rebooted, installed MP and set logs and rebooted and ran TVServer. Didn't do anything in regard to S Loopback adapter. I've been using NextPvr since the problem became insurmountable. Only reason it's not a good long term...
