10 I figured out how to get mythfrontend to connect to the database. I did
11 what you said and changed "camille" to "localhost". Now I have a new
12 problem; I can't watch LiveTV. I'm not sure why. If I go to Schedule
13 Recordings I see what I expected to see. When I go to Watch LiveTV, I
14 get some funky output in my terminal. Here's the important info:
