[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 972479, member: 10858"] Isn't it a bit harsh to call all people who devote lot of their free time for free to lazy? If it is not harsh in your opinion it will be at least a great way to demotivate people to look into the proposed change. People did understand, you failed to understand the why it is not a risk for the 99.5% of the MP users. If there will be a patch then it certainly will be fixed, otherwise it will get prioritized quite low since the affected user base is quite minimal. There is no security issue for people who use MySQL / MS SQL only for MediaPortal itself. Granting root access to the database is not giving any root access to the OS itself - only the data in DB is "at risk" if MP would be maliculous or buggy (for 99.5% of the MediaPortal users it will mean that it is MP data alone that is at risk - the same data that is at the risk even if no root DB access is given).
