I’ve had this working before so I have no idea why, since upgrading from R5A26 to R5A30.2, I can’t get it working again... I want to be able to see episode, title etc. information from within Windows Explorer. At the moment I can only get durations. I’m using the MythTV DirectShow filter, version 0.10.0 from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsmyth
The filter works OK as I can play the .nuv files in Windows, but I can’t get access to any of the file property information from mythconverg.
In case it's relevant, /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt says
Code:
DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
In the ‘MySQL database’ page of the MythTV Filters Settings screen, I have username, password and host all set to mythtv and database set to mythconverg, but on pressing the ‘Test MySQL connection’ button, the error reports Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘mythtv’ (10061)
I’ve followed the instructions here www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html to allow access from any host (no security) with
Code:
$ mysql -u root mythconverg
mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"%" identified by "mythtv";
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"%" identified by "mythtv";
mysql> flush privileges;
I have checked Webmin’s ‘User Permissions’ to confirm this has worked, ie. username 'mythtv' has access to database 'mythconverg' from any host, with all permissions (except ‘Grant privileges’)
Webmin’s ‘Database Permissions’ also confirms that mythconverg may be accessed by username mythtv from any host.
There was nothing set for ‘Host Permissions’ so I manually added ‘any’ host to be allowed to access mythconverg.
As far as I can tell, this setup should remove all security – yet I still don’t got no access
I had this working before, without any trouble in R5A26, so I’m probably just forgetting to do something ‘obvious’ – any ideas please 
Brilliant
