I wasn't aware you could do scheduling from mvpmc. If you can, someone really needs to add something to the wiki, as a search for "schedule" or "scheduling" turns up nothing.

I don't know if this is an aspect of the Ubuntu packaging, but on my MythTV installation, a random password was generated. Does the SVN version of MythTV or older versions actually use "mythtv" as the password? (I suppose if you're not using an installer, it's up to you to create the password.) > 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 & My guess is that in a typical setup, -p would be the only parameter needed for MySQL access. (Providing the code doesn't disable MySQL access if one or more of the other parameters are absent. As they all have defaults, I'd assume not.) > 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. Per the code -y defaults to the value of -s, or 'localhost'. (I'm not sure how useful 'localhost' would ever be for mvpmc, except when running in an emulator.) I've updated the wiki to reflect the defaults specified in the code: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/commandline I also added a link to main.c in the Git repository as the place to find defaults. I'd like to see us do more of this in the wiki, so when the documentation doesn't go into enough depth or goes out of date, the next person that comes along knows where to look to find the definitive information, and might even update the wiki. > 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. My understanding was that the direct database access was used for the experimental live TV capability. MythTV protocol is used for everything else. I don't have the database access set up on my mvpmc, and it seems to do everything except the new live TV. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
