Subject: [mythtv-users] MythTV won't connect to mythlcdserver

Hi everyone,

I've configured my LCDd daemon and lcdproc correctly.
The only thing I need to get running now is the myth-part, but for some reason mythtv won't connect to its own mythlcdserver!

This is the debug output of mythlcdserver:

2009-12-04 14:52:10.570 LCDProcClient: checking connections

2009-12-04 14:52:30.570 LCDProcClient: checking connections

In between these "checking connections", mythtv throws these errors, from 1 to 10:
2009-12-04 14:52:21.242 Connecting to lcd server: localhost:6545 (try 10 of 10)

I'm not really sure what the problem is. I haven't found a lot of information on mythlcdserver

Met vriendelijke groeten,

If you don't have phpMyAdmin installed it's probaly easier just to use mysql. The following should work :-

mysql -u mythtv -p

<enter password>

use mythconverg;

insert into settings (value,data,hostname) values ('LCDServerHost', '127.0.0.1', null); _______________________________________________
