Looks like you're using "old style" passwords. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/myconnpy/+bug/380528
See Q15 in the MythBox FAQ for the fix. I'll add the error string myconnpy is
returning to the FAQ for future reference.

Your suggestion worked a treat; I changed the old_password=1 to 0 in
/etc/my.cnf and
then cleared and recreated passwords for mythtv. Thanks. Great program;
another
few problems but catching up on old Dr Who episodes 1st.

Hi -- I'm having the same problem. I check "my.cnf" and it contains the
following lines:
[mysqld]
old_passwords = false # inserted by debconf
# Activate the above for connections from hosts running Debian Woody/Sarge!
I checked the mysql database and the password column is 41 bytes wide and "mysql
--version" returns: "mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.32, for pc-linux-gnu (i486)
using
readline 5.2"
Putting this all together, I suspect my password is properly encoded, but maybe
I am
missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Marc

The string "old_password" is singular (vs plural in your comment). I don't know
if the
my.cnf field supports both singular and plural versions of the name/value pair
but it
is worth a try.

I just checked my my.conf and I had changed the test from old_passwords=1 to
...=0
I then went into mysql as root
>mysql -u root -p mythconverg
and then added a new password (12345) and then flushed privileges. It all seemed
to work just fine:
>UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('12345') WHERE User='mythtv';
>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

I looked webmin to look at the list of mysql users and it became clear that the
password was indeed encrypted the old way. Since I'm not sure if there are other
elements on my myth distribution (Knoppmyth R5.5) that depend on the old
encryption
strength I decided to create a username and password. I am now able to get in
and
things basically work, but I am facing a different problem relating to the
default
player. I will open a new issue for this.
