I solved the problem by doing the following: 1.Download MythTV open source. 2.Open the database folder: mc.sql a file. Open it and found this: CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS mythconverg; GRANT ALL ON mythconverg. * TO mythtv @ localhost IDENTIFIED BY "mythtv"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON mythconverg. * TO mythtv @ localhost IDENTIFIED BY "mythtv"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ALTER DATABASE mythconverg DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

3. Open Mysql and apply point 2
4. privileges on the router and Mythtv Mysql: might not work but you give privileges on the firewall.

5.Abrir Yast> add mysql and mythbackend groups to access MythTV options. My system is the open suse 12.1 and doing this has worked for me
