[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1041540, member: 82144"] You can manually install MySQL 5.6 without a reinstall. Process would be: [LIST=1] [*]Upgrade to MP 1.6 PR. [*]Use the import/export section of TV Server configuration to export all your channels etc. [*]Stop the TV service and ensure TV Server configuration is closed. [*]Uninstall MySQL. [*]Install MySQL 5.6. Make sure to remember the root username and password that you use for step 9. [*]Right click the TV Server configuration shortcut on your desktop and select "properties". [*]Change the "target" from ...\SetupTv.exe" to ...SetupTv.exe" /configure-db ... (note that the quotation marks are important). [*]Double click on the shortcut. You should now see the database connection popup that you would have seen when you first installed. All the fields should be set with your current database connection parameters. [*]Configure username and password for the new MySQL 5.6 database. Using the root user is easiest. You can use a different user account if you want, but that requires extra configuration in MySQL which is beyond the scope of this post. [*]Click "test" and then "save". [*]Right click the TV Server configuration shortcut on your desktop and select "properties". [*]Remove the configure-db section that you added. [*]Open TV Server configuration. [*]Go to the import/export section. [*]Import the file exported in step 2. [/LIST] This process should give the best possible outcomes in terms of the database. Sorry but this is really unlikely to happen for the reason given in the release news: people may be using MySQL for other purposes. We have no right to automatically upgrade the database (which risks losing data) without asking. Yes, we could possibly add an option in the installer, but making sure that upgrade process is 100% bulletproof is much more work than you might think. When you consider that the option would only be relevant for this release... the risks and effort are not worth it. You can always take matters into your own hands by following the above process. :) [/QUOTE]
