Set up issues (I feel lost!) (1 Viewer)

Ha ha that worked. I think it was case sensitive!

So Do I need to set up the MYSQL too?

 

[ablubes]

Default values..

I leave all values as they are and it's working.....

Next part I'm a bit confused with is can I have either a Microsoft SQL database or a MYSQL?

Sorry for all the questions. I've been reading the FAQ and Manual...

TV-Server specific requirements

Database server requirements

*

It is necessary to install one of the following databases.
*

Note: Since MediaPortal 1.0 the installer takes care about downloading and configuring the SQL server.
*

MicroSoft SQL Server
o

Microsoft SQL Server 2005
o

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Additional (but recommended) SQL Server Management Studio Express

Yes, but the password bit had me confused. I actually uninstalled the TV server and reinstalled it ad we are looking good. I'll try it on the PC I want to use it on tonight.

Thanks heaps everyone!

Ok I think that TV server is the issue as I have no idea what the passwords are!

He.
Seems like noone reads what the installer tells you during installation.
Because it says that the default db password is MediaPortal.

whoops! I did try that, but I think its cap sensitive (or maybe I'm just a bit too stoopid!!)

Anyway I've got the TV part working (yay!!) but no picture! man I must be the biggest pain in the ass to you guys! Sorry!

I've installed the patch to sort the DVB-t stick. And I can find all the channels, but there is no picture and it doesn't see the channel info. Also I can see the Analogue card I have installed, but when I scan for channels, I get nothing. If I turn on the software that came with teh card. it works!

DVB stick is a Intel CE9500
the TV card is Analogue MSI PVS - its a conextant chip
