[mythtv-users] qt-MySQL buglet

[Greg Cope]

Hi All,

There is a bug in the way qt-MySQL is complied as it will only try an
connect to a mySQL DB via /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, even if you set
the host elsewhere.

mysql client works fine connecting to my remote backend, yet I cannot
get a remote client to connect whilst running mythtvsetup.

Any thoughts?
