Do the programs show up properly in mythfrontend? I'm as ignorant as they come when administering mysql, my only suggestion would be to go over the steps in the guide on the gentoo-wiki and make sure everything is as it should be.

I run the backend as root and the frontend usually as a different user, sometimes as root. however, as far as I know only the backend ever touches the v4l device through the symlink in /dev/video0. And the device actually has the permissions of my regular user, so I don't think mythbackend changes them. I did just do a little experimenting, doing mplayer /dev/v4l/video0 as both root and another user, it didn't have any effect on permissions or ownership of the device. Maybe I'll experiment some more tonight or tomorrow. > To get around the X-Video issue I've set up MythTV on my laptop. > However when I run mythtv-setup I get messages that it cannot conenct > to the datbase server: > > 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Unable to connect to database! > 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Driver error was [1/2003]: > QMYSQL3: Unable to connect > Database error was: > Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.55' (111) > > 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Failed to init MythContext, exiting. > > I look at the netstat data on the server and it's not looking good to me: > > dragonfly ~ # netstat -apn | grep myth > tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6543 0.0.0.0:* > LISTEN 31921/mythbackend > tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6544 0.0.0.0:* > LISTEN 31921/mythbackend > unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 371642 31921/mythbackend > unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 371640 31921/mythbackend > unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 371638 31921/mythbackend > dragonfly ~ # > > Should those IP addresses be all 0's???? > > - Mark > the guide on the gentoo-wiki has a section about using mythfrontend on a seperate machine, the key points seem to be giving the mysql user access to connect from remote machines and making sure myth listens on a accessible address (in mythsetup u don't want to use 127.0.0.1 anywhere).
