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:



(Shows versions of relevant modules)

and




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.
