User Manual:Detailed configuration

From MythTV Official Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This section of the user manual is the MythTV backend and frontend reference manual


Backend

Initial MySQL Setup

The MythTV Source contains a mc.sql file in mythtv/database. This simple SQL script can be used to create a default mythconverg database using the following method: 

mysql -u root -p < mc.sql

You will be prompted for the MySQL root user password (note that MySQL user is different from a Linux style user. Consult your distro documentation for more information). Enter it, and the default Myth database will be created with a Mysql user named "mythtv" and a password of "mythtv".

Frontend

Here are the pages that give detailed descriptions of all the Frontend Configuration Options, technical descriptions and examples of best practice.--Mikec 16:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
