TV-Server
TV-Server specific Requirements:
Database Server Requirements:
It is necessary to select one of the following databases during installation:
Microsoft SQL Server
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition
Oracle MySQL 5 (Windows)
- MySQL 5
If you choose MySQL, the MP installer will download and configure MySQL server for you. As an alternative, you may use almost any version of SQL Server from 2005 onwards. If you choose to use SQL Server, it should be installed before you install MediaPortal. Please see the SQL Server Wiki page for tested versions and links to detailed instructions. Some users have successfully used the open source MariaDB instead of Oracle's MySQL, but MariaDB is not (yet) officially supported.
Dependencies:
The TV-Server depends on the RPC Locator service activation. This service should be automatically installed with the Client for Microsoft Network under the properties of your network card.
We strongly recommend using static IP addresses and disabling IPv6!
Additional Recommended Tools:
- SQL Server Management Studio Express
- MySQL Workbench (GUI Tools)
