in point of fact there must be a mysql server to connect to somewhere on |
| 18 |
the network. mysql stores the frontend settings. AFAIK you do not |
| 19 |
actually need the backend running, but you do need the mysql server |
| 20 |
running. |

Now back to the point, did the OP set the directory where his video |
| 23 |
files reside in the mythtv setup? |
