It's not only the TV Server, it's all MP2. Every view in MP2 GUI is getting data from the database. So you will slow down MP2 a lot by using MySQL... If the MySQL server isn't on the same machine as the MP2 server this will be even more worse. A really, really bad idea. You better modify your scripts on the linux server for that purpose...

I have realized that the MySQL plugin is removed from the Repo in meantime. As told, it's old, not maintained and most likely not compatible with recent versions of MP2. So there is a lot of searching in forum needed to find it, if ever it is still available. But maybe you can compile it yourself as the source code still should be available....

The exchange itself is simple, once you have found the plugin... Stop MP2 server, move the SQLite plugin folder (normally "c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Plugins\SQLiteDatabase\") aside and copy the MySQL plugin folder into MP2 server plugin folder... Then start the server again and if you are really lucky and the server starts, you need to rebuild all your media sources and the whole TV configuration from scratch. You need to replace the MySQL plugin folder prior to every update of MP2, and replace it again after the update was successful as with every update the SQLite Plugin will be installed again and you can not have two database plugins at the same time.

Edit:
It would be easier to write a TV Server Plugin for updating the m3u lists directly in the TV engine. But for this you need some c# skills...
