<tt>First thing, the application should show up as MythFrontend.app
sans the ".app" extension- if it does not, there is something wrong.<br>
Secondly, no, it does not come with a database. The Mac frontend is
just that - a frontend. Upon first startup you should see the familiar
mythtvsetup (mythtv-0.17/setup/setup) screen which takes you through
configuring mythtv. If not, I reommend you try checking your hard drive
using Disk Warrior (boot from CD). If all is OK, try to log in as a
fresh user and start the MythFrontend. If the problem persists, backup,
reinstall OSX and try again.<br>

<br>
<br>
I have a good working myth installation (0.17) on a desktop machine,
but now I was thinking I'd try and get the frontend working on my
PowerBook G4. The main reason for this is because I'd like to do some
video editing (setting the cut points) from my couch using a real
keyboard as opposed to trying to do it all with a remote control.
<br>
<br>
So I downloaded the MythFrontend.app (version 0.17 + plug-ins) but when
I double click the app, I get a blue squares screen and then it closes.
In the console I get the following:
<br>
<br>
2005-03-30 12:22:21.711 Using runtime prefix =
/Applications/MythFrontend.app/Contents/Resources
<br>
2005-03-30 12:22:23.237 Unable to connect to database!
<br>
2005-03-30 12:22:23.237 Driver error was [1/1045]:
<br>
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
<br>
Database error was:
<br>
Access denied for user: 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: YES)
<br>
<br>
couldn't open db
<br>
2005-03-30 12:22:23.302 Switching to square mode (blue)
<br>
<br>
<br>
So, based on the above errors, does the frontend have a database of its
own? If so, does this mean it can't create it ? OR is the database on
the backend what is used, and I need to somehow configure the frontend
to point to the backends ip? If this is the case, where is the file I
need to modify to fix this?
<br>
<br>
I am running Mac OS X - 10.3.8
