You may be very right but I don't see how to tell nuvexport anything about mysql.

There were two issues: 1) The setup of mysql logically to allow logins from other machines. That's the part that's on the Wiki. 2) There was one line in the my.cnf file that had mysql bound to 127.0.0.1. I changed that line to Dragonfly's IP address, restarted mysql, and now I'm accessing MythTV from a second machine in another room of the house. So some forward progress. One down and who knows how many to go. Still all my video is black so I'm now wondering if I've configured the tuner to the progarm guide correctly. Not sure at all. I guess that's for tomorrow's task list. Also I think my wireless network isn't fast enough to get the video across it. I'll probably have to crawl under the house and drag an Ethernet cable to the living room next. Yuck! Thanks very much for your help. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
