Post subject:  How to find version of MythTV?
Ok, at the command line how do I find what version of MythTV I am running? Yes, I know I am running the latest version, but where is that stored? I've looked through the tables in mysql, but I can't find that information.
Also, there doesn't seem to be any mythtv commands to which I can pass "--version", so how do you find this out?

(*btw, the reason I'm needing this is I'm writing a webmin module for mythtv, and that is information that should be displayed in the module window)

grep "mythbackend version:" /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log |tail -1

cat /etc/KnoppMyth-version

mythbackend --version

Here are others:


Code:
dpkg-query -l 'myth*'

(Shows versions of relevant modules)

and


Code:
cat /etc/KnoppMyth-version


You can get the nVidia driver versions from XFree86.0.log, also the current desktop virtual size, name of the current modeline, DPI, screen dimensions, etc..

Great. Will use the "mythbackend --version" for right now, but will also try the others.

Hi,
cat /etc/K* works also since there is only one K file. Then I edit my menu so the next time I forget, it is handy :)

nano /usr/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml

<button>
<type>KnoppMyth</type>
<text>KnoppMyth R5 Alpha 16</text>
<action>MENU knoppmyth.xml</action>
</button>

If I was smarter, I would write a script that would plunk that tid-bit in after I did an upgrade but I'm not so it is just a simple edit anyway.
