[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1069818, member: 82144"] That is really bizzare. :S TV Server config should look like this: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration#TV-Server_Configuration_Tool[/url] That is normal too - a normal part of TV Server configuration. You should have seen that at work when you first tried to open TV Server configuration. It is the database connection configuration dialog. Once you've configured the database connection successfully once, you should normally never see that dialog again. So in summary: 1. I think you have TV Server installed fine already (though I don't know where it is installed to - usually it is c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server). 2. You need to configure the database connection correctly to make the dialog go away and get to the normal view of TV Server configuration. I understand. You wouldn't be able to create a user and password using the command line unless you're proficient with databases. You might with the MySQL Workbench graphical user interface tool (downloadable for free from the MySQL website), but even that is pretty involved. The thing is that you didn't need to install MySQL manually. If you did that, there isn't really an easy way to back out without uninstalling MP, TV Server and MySQL and starting from scratch. You could rescue the MediaPortal settings if that's what you're concerned about...? In any case, you should have seen this dialog during the MediaPortal install process: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/1_Getting_Started/12_Installing_MediaPortal/1_Installer_%28Deploy_Tool%29/2_Advanced_Installation#Database_Server_%28SQL%29[/url] ...or at least this: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/1_Getting_Started/12_Installing_MediaPortal/1_Installer_%28Deploy_Tool%29/Install#Actions_Required[/url] ...showing you that MediaPortal was going to install MySQL for you. As I said previously, the defaut username and password for MySQL [when installed by MediaPortal] are [B]root[/B] and [B]MediaPortal[/B]. If those don't work then I can't easily help you unless you're able to provide access to your HTPC (using TeamViewer or RDP or similar). I could jump on and fix the problems for you in about 10 minutes... but describing how to fix it including every possible scenario would take me hours. I'm sorry, I can't do that (I'm actually at work right now). The database connection dialog that you're seeing [B]is[/B] TV Server config itself. It is a pre-requisite to configure a database connection before you can get into the main part that you're trying to get to. There is no way around that. You're very welcome, and your English is excellent. :) As above, I'd be happy to fix this for you if you can provide remote access. Otherwise you can rescue all the MP settings from C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal. Note that is a hidden folder, not Program Files. You can paste the path into the address bar in Windows Explorer to get there. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
