**SQL COMMANDS**
Get the port which the DB is bound to:
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
give perms to the kodi bot user (osmc in this case, YMMV)
GRANT ALL ON . TO 'osmc';
Notes:
One some linux platforms, you can also get the port-process binding from the command line with:
netstat -tlnp
(look at the last column for mysql)
However on Synology, the process fields come up empty for me.
