Hmmm. Unless there is a config.xml to tell it otherwise,
the code is meant to try localhost first. Honest!

...
bool MythContextPrivate::FindDatabase(const bool prompt, const bool  
noPrompt)
...
     // 1. Load either mysql.txt, or use sensible "localhost" defaults:
     LoadDatabaseSettings();


     // 2. If the user isn't forcing up the chooser UI, look for a  
default
     //    backend in config.xml, then test DB settings we've got so  
far:
     if (!manualSelect)
     {
         // config.xml may contain a backend host UUID and PIN.
         // If so, try to AutoDiscover UPnP server, and use its DB  
settings:

         if (DefaultUPnP(failure))                // Probably a valid  
backend,
             autoSelect = manualSelect = false;   // so disable any  
further UPnP
         else
             VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, failure);

         failure = TestDBconnection();
         if (failure.isEmpty())
             goto DBfound;



That TestDBconnection() should have used the localhost
settings in mysql.txt, and given you the right DB?



I don't suppose you still have the program output?

At the moment, -d only ignores the backend chooser.
UPnP auto discovery will still try to connect.
