In my setup, the mysql password is different from the root password.  However  ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt contains the mysql password. I do not know if the sql statments above will work, but at least you should be able to log in to mysql.

 Ok thanks for that I went and found the file and yes it does list a
password but using that PW still gets me a similar error message.
It includes the database name as well now.

Thanks for your help.

John.
