My apologies.  Too many emails in the last couple of weeks; thought 
you were someone else.

Normally socket problems are because there is an /etc/my.cnf file 
that is overriding /opt/local/etc/mariadb/my.cnf .  If you have such, 
please either rename or remove it.

What did you change:  /opt/local/var/mythtvuser/.mythtv/config.xml ? 
This is the file used by the backend and its children (including 
mythfilldatabase when run automatically).
