[mythtv-users] How to control database settings from config.xml

[Göran Uddeborg]

According to http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10209#comment:1 it
should be possible to use config.xml mysql.txt.  I'm trying to do
that, but it fails.

When I look at the files as generated, config.xml seems to contain
almost all the information from mysql.txt already, except for the
DBType setting.  (See below for details.)  But it still doesn't work
for me without the mysql.txt file.  I tried to add a DBType entry
in config.xml too, but that didn't make any difference.

What is it I don't get?


22:50 freddi$ grep -v ^# .mythtv/mysql.txt
DBHostName=pluto


DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3
