Is there a GUI interface to the database? If there isn't one installed as part of R5C7, is there a GUI that is generally recommended?

I've got some nuv files laying around on a Windows box from a prior Mythtv incarnation that I gave up on a while back. I'd like to see if I can get them into my new Knoppmyth install.

I figure if I can explore around the database internals I may be able to figure out how to get these nuv files to show up in the mythfrontend GUI.

The one in webmin is probably your best bet.

The wiki page on enabling webmin is here - http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=WebminHowTo

After you get that up, and get signed in, it's under Servers -> MySQL Database Server -> mythconverg

A database GUI is handy at times. I use CocoaMySQL on my Macintosh.

If you are just trying to add orphaned recordings, use the program described here:

in r5c7 you need to add the security releases line in

/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

I thought security was for patches.

Hmmm. I did that, selected Apache, it restarted Apache and finished, but could not actually access it - the home page was still the default KnoppMyth one, and adding /PhpMyAdmin onto the end did nothing.

Then realised that Apache is case sensitive. It needs to be:
http://your-backend-name-or-IP/phpmyadmin

Hope that saves someone a few minutes!

I use Aqua Data Studio. It's cross-platform and free for personal use. You can also connect to other database types like Oracle and Sql Server if you ever need to. It's at http://www.aquafold.com/index.html
