Hi, just saw the news that I shouldn't use R5A22 (see below)



Ok, it won't upgrade to 0.19. Is this a big issue? What's this SVN thingie?

At the moment, I'm almost (famous last words) there with my initial build of MythTV after a fair old bit of faffing, so should I burn R5A16 and re-do it?

At the mo' if I can get it running to be awarded the highest honour of G.A. (Girlfriend Approval) I'll be happy.

So i'm just curious really!

Thanks

I'm confused ... I did an R5A22 installation on a new hard drive that works just fine [with minor fixes]... ( ntsc ota ) where's the downside ?

Exactly.
I'm using R5A22 and it worked ok.
What gives?

The downside is that the version in R5A22 generally won't work with other back or frontends, and there may be a problem with upgrading the database schema for future versions (though I think the db upgrade will end up being a non-issue)

SO what you are saying is, my seperate frontend in my frontend/backend set up would have to be R5A22 build also?
Or are you saying I can't have a seperate frontend/backend with this build? Or is it I can only use R5A22 seperate frontend/backend?

(Too many questions? .... Forgive my ignorance please, I just want to be sure as I intend to have a seperate frontend soon.)

So not a problem if you keep it running on the same box....
And watch this space to see if there will be a database problem downstream ?

frontend/backend same or seperate work fine as long as they are all knoppmyth R5A22, however if you try minimyth or xbmc or anything like that it won't work.

That's what I thought you meant: As long as all R5A22 it'll work.
Just wanted to be absolutely sure!

So... is there a way to "downgrade" to R5A16?

I want to connect a couple more frontends, which happen to be XBOXs

Or will I need to do a full re-install?

If you are currently using R5A22, keep using it. There maybe issue w/ trying to downgrade to an earlier version of MythTV. We are trying to figure a way to do this safely. Have you checked the mirrors?

When the source is open, the possibilities are endless!

It still looks like it's all R5A16

is there any workaround for connecting an XBMC XBOX to an R5A22 backend?

i guess that's a no?
