I'm working on fixes for this. The new logic will be:

1) Try to load mysql.txt.
    If it doesn't exist, load "localhost" defaults

2) Try to contact the database.
    It that doesn't work, setup a UPnP autodiscover
    and search for two seconds.
    If exactly one host is found, use that, otherwise

3) Try to load config.xml, and use UPnP
    to contact the backend described within, else

4) Pop up the AutoDiscovery chooser,
    and let the user decide what to do.





(but I'm not having much luck with stand alone UPnP
  autodiscovery. The MediaRenderer class finds BEs,
  but if I try some simple test code:
     UPnp    *m_UPnP     = new UPnp();
     QString sBackendLoc = "urn:schemas-mythtv- 
org:device:MasterMediaServer:1";
     QTime   timer;

     m_UPnP->SetConfiguration(new XmlConfiguration("config.xml"));
     #define PORT 6548
     m_UPnP->Initialize(PORT, new HttpServer(PORT));
     UPnp::PerformSearch(sBackendLoc);
  then nothing is found.)
