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

Quote:

Please don't use R5A22. If you are doing a new install, please use R5A16. I accidently included a SVN version of MythTV in R5A22. According to Isaac, there is "no guarantee" this will smoothly upgrade to 0.19. If you are using R5A22, we are working on a way to safely revert MythTV to 0.18.2. My humble apologoies for the mix up.


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! :wink:

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

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

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?

It still looks like it's all R5A16

Post subject: 

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