[QUOTE="CathodeRay, post: 1148247, member: 128074"] Vasilich - I'm not sure how or why adding a virtual network card would help, given that until the recent database problems there was no such card and everything worked fine. I thought, but am happy to be corrected, that the only 'networking' going on in a single seat installation was the TV client getting streamed TV from the server - sort of tv-over-ip if you like, though its all happening on one local machine. My current options appear to be: 1. Hope MySQL can be fixed. This may or may not happen, but if it can be, it is the best, most appealing option, and 'neater' in that a problem has been fixed. 2. Use MS SQLEx. MS say the minimum OS for the 2012 version is Vista, and most of the installer are huge (one is over 1GB) and that stinks of bloatware, given the earlier installers for 2005/2008 version were less than 100MB. Interesting there is a local DB version of MS SQLEx at arounf 30MB which might just be OK as this is a single seat install. From MS: New to the Express family, LocalDB is a lightweight version of Express that has all its programmability features, yet runs in user mode and has a fast, zero-configuration installation and short list of pre-requisites. Use this if you need a simple way to create and work with databases from code. It can be bundled with Application and Database Development tools like Visual Studio and or embedded with an application that needs local databases. If that isn't suitable or doesn't like MCE then I'd probably go with the 2008 version. Changing the DB with minimum risk/downtime: I have now established how to get the setup database connection dialog: its setuptv.exe /configure-db, not --configure-db as one entry in the MP wiki has it. This is an example of what I mean about the wiki - can be very frustrating! I wonder what will happen if I: 1. export channels etc (to .xml) 2. stop tvserver and mysql service for good measure 3. install whichever version of MS SQLEx I end up with 4. make sure the MS SQLEx and tvserver services are running 5. run the setup database connection dialog 6. import the channels etc from the .xml file create in step 1 The key 'gap' in this is whether MP will create a new MS SQLEx version of mptvdb. It does if you are on MySQL and you drop the mptvdb: it just creates a new database. [/QUOTE]
