mvpmc needs access to the server that holds the mythtv database using the default database that mythtv uses with the default username and default password for that user. See this page in the wiki http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/commandline#T So the parameters for your command line become mvpmc -y 12.34.56.78 -s 98.76.54.32 -T mythconverg -u mythtv -p mythtv & 12.34.56.78 is the server that holds the database 98.76.54.32 is the server that is running mythtv NOTE: these two could/would be the same if you have only one mythtv server. mythconverg is the default database name for mythtv mythtv are the default password and user for the database. Now if you changed your username and password during install, you would have to modify them here. When you setup mvpmc with these parmeters, I believe that it DOES use the mythtv protocol, but maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
