You can configure the database connection [after installing] in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\gentle.config.
gentle.config is a text file that can be opened and edited in any text editor (notepad, wordpad etc.).
Look for the first line starting "<DefaultProvider name="MySQL" ...". Change the "connectionString" value as required (probably just add "...;Port=1234;").
You must restart the TV service after changing gentle.config.

Where is the gentle.config resp. connectionString for SetupTV?

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...
