Setting up MySQL on NAS using phpMyAdmin

Post by LastStarfighter »

Hi

Ok, I'm struggling to set up MySQL on MrMC on my Dlink DNS 327l NAS using the NAS add on phpMyAdmin.

I've managed to set up a user via phpMyAdmin and granted full access.

I've set up the Server as my NAS drive 10.0.1.5 in the MySQL settings of MrMC and tried to define a video database name of mrmcvideos. When I click enable I get 'couldn't open database'.

My ATV 4 IP is 10.0.1.10

I tried some of the tips from the forum topic 'Enabling MySQL' with no luck. I get messages from phpMyAdmin like database doesn't exist etc.

e.g I tried GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mrmc%.*` To 'mrmc'@'10.0.1.10’ IDENTIFIED BY 'mrmc';;
flush privileges;

I'm at a loss, could be its just gone midnight, though it's likely just me.

Cheers
LS

When you run the following on your Dlink do you have any 'MyVideo', 'MyMusic', 'mrmcvideo', or 'mrmcmusic' databases?

Code: Select all

show databases;
Also make sure the user was created with the following:

Code: Select all

SELECT User FROM mysql.user;
If not create your user and define your permissions (I would recommend not setting an IP, but if you want to get more specific I would set something like 'mrmc'@'10.0.1.%'):

Code: Select all

CREATE USER 'mrmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'mrmc';
GRANT ALL ON `mrmcvideos%`.* TO 'mrmc'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mrmc';
GRANT ALL ON `mrmcmusic%`.* TO 'mrmc'@'%' IDENTFIEID BY 'mrmc';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
If so make sure the permissions are set properly:

Code: Select all

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'mdmc';
Side note: If the only thing you're running MySQL for is Kodi/MrMC, then by all means use the following permissions:

Code: Select all

GRANT ALL ON *.* to 'mrmc';

timstephens24...You have have been a great help, hail to you!! :D

I followed your instructions and it's scanning movies as I type.

I did get a couple of syntax type errors, that I basically ignored as I wasn't she what they meant. However all is working.

I can't believe how fast the library scan is compared to what it used to ben my ATV2 Kodi install.

Thanks again for your help timstephens24.

Cheers

I keep going around in circles with this and i'm getting annoyed. The support from the developers is not good at all.

I have a database setup with Kodi ip address/phpmyadmin.

All i want to do is set it up for mrmc as well. i'm far from an expert so i dont need any crazy computer lingo. i setup the original database while following a youtube video.

help me get this setup for mrmc please and make my $6 worth it.

MrMC support MySQL under kodi v16.x series. If you are using Kodi v17 alpha/beta. Sorry, not compatible.
http://forum.mrmc.tv/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52 is a very clear explination of what do do.

As this is your 1st post, not sure why you say "support from the developers is not good at all". ?
