Hi

Can anyone let me know if there is a script out there to create the MySQL DB and associated tables required to run MythTV through MythBox?

I've tried a Windows install package but the configuresql.vbs file just contains an echo command.

Please help because it looks awesome.

Thanks in advance.

I also have the same problem. I would try and manually create the database in MySQL but i don't even know the tables or there attribute. I've spent days on this without any joy.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
MythTvSetup_0.24-fixes_git-188-g8ba07a0 (Windows Backend)
MySQl 5.1


Thanks in advance for your help as I'm pulling my hair out.

MythTV creates its own database. And MythBox doesn't even access the database directly anyway. It connects through the mythbackend API.

Thanks theophile, the real problem is that for some reason Mythbox doesn't create it, hence why i was looking to create it my self. Any suggestion?


Thanks in advance
