[mythtv-users] mac osx frontend and mysql

[Chris Ribe]

No, you do not need to install MySQL on the Mac to get the frontend working.
It has been almost a year since I have run a frontend on OSX so I don't
remember all of the details, but installing MySQL wasn't one of them.

The database runs on the backend, the frontend software knows how to talk to
it.

Did you make the changes necesary to allow the remote connection to the
database?

I forget the specifics, but searching something along the lines of 'remote
frontend permissions connect' should net you an answer.
