Unable to open database: [...] Can't connect to MySQL server [...]

  • I recently installed libreELEC on an Odroid C2 and went ahead and copied the advancedsettings.xml from my previous machine and suddenly I cannot connect to my mysql server. I listen to the traffic on my server while the Odroid boots up, but no mysql traffic is noted. I ran netcat from libreelec to make sure no firewall rules are in the way and that worked perfectly.

    From the log:

    ERROR: Unable to open database: MyVideos107 [2003](Can't connect to MySQL server on '<ip-address>' (101))

    If I were to venture a guess it seems like the network isn't properly set up prior to kodi attempting to establish a connection with the mysql server. Any help would be much appreciated.
