[mythtv-users] Using MythTV 'offline'?

Could it be that MySQL is either not listening on 127.0.0.1 and/or MySQL permissions are rejecting logins from 127.0.0.1, but accepting from 192.168.x.x?

To check what address the MySQL daemon is listening on (from Bash):
bash$ sudo netstat -npl |  grep 3306

To check what address the mythtv MySQL user is allowed to connect to MySQL on (from MySQL prompt):
mysql> select User,Host from mysql.user where User = 'mythtv';

Post the results of the above commands here, if you're unsure.
