I just want to confirm if there are still plans to release a version of KnoppMyth based on the 0.20 MythTV release? I'm not asking about a timeline, because we all know where that will get a person. I'm just making sure it wasn't shelved in favor of manually upgrading the components.

There is still a plan.

Hi all,

I am on R5D1... did the upgrade as on page 1 last night. Could someone please take a peek at this and tell me if everything turned out ok? I just noticed I got 5 of those "Prior errors apply" lines instead of the 2 or 3 that were mentioned.

Seems to work ok... still don't have closed-captioning and lost my XM radio option... don't know if anything else has changed. Top went from 9% to 12%... I'm running a 4800x2 though...

I've been afraid of doing this for fear of hosing my system, but it was as smooth as a baby's bottom! I had an FTP time out error on Get 2, but I just redid the apt-get install command. No worries!

I am currently running R5D1 as my backend and xbmc mythtv 0.19.1 as my frontend.

Damn I am glad i read your post. I was just about to upgrade my backend to 0.20... would have broken everything

i too followed the instructions on first page and everything seemed to work.....however i lost the knoppmyth menu item on my frontend.....i know someone said that there would be a thread where this is discussed but i dont find it. Could someone plz explain how i can fix this or give me link to this thread??
Thx and nice work!

Edit: Problem solved...stupido supergong had to use the classic-layout option in configs

See the instructions on othe bottom of this wiki page: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... hTVFromSVN Note that the XML files for those menus are available as attachments on that page as well.

I upgraded from R5C7 to R5D1 today. Then I followed the instructions from page 1, and after some re-work it's pretty much where it was with 0.19, plus some cool new .20 features like Internet Stream.

However, I then tried setting up my separate front-end (Ubuntu Laptop). The whole reason I upgraded the backend was because the Ubuntu packages are .20 now, and I figured upgrading the backend was the right thing to do, rather than use an outdated front-end.

However, I still get a protocol mismatch, it's just 30 (backend) versus 31 (frontend) instead of what it was (26 versus 31). How do I go about upgrading the backend to whatever version has protocol version 31? I assume if there's no packages made, I'll have to rebuild from source? Is this koscher with a KnoppMyth install or does it ruin my upgrade path for when the next release comes out?

No, it should not ruin upgrading when the next release is ready.

When the source is open, the possibilities are endless!

After upgrading I can no longer listen to music, or view images correctly (can't exit).

Other than that I'm doing pretty well on 0.20. I just set up a new menu item to use Xine for my music player for CD and my MP3s.

Arrrggh, why me.
So I am trying to upgrade and on the apt-get part the transfer keeps erroring out. The transfer gets to 100%, sits for a minute, then says this:

Err ftp://knoppmyth.net ./ mythtv 0.20-8
Connection timeout
Failed to fetch ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/pkgs/mythtv_0.20-8_i386.deb Connection timeout
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Any ideas? I am dead in the water right now...

Those debs may have been removed because the latest release of KnoppMyth comes with 0.20-fixes. Install or upgrade to the latest release.

What are you talking about? R5D1 is the latest version, which I am running, which this thread is about. The file is there as I said it transfers to 100% then errors out.

Anyway, after a reboot it looks like it is working...

The latest release as of this writing is R5E50 See: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13091
As you can see from the date on that post, it was released the day after Christmas. Read this before upgrading: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13108

Well shiver me timbers. What the hell happened to posting about new releases. Not bitching but holy jeez, I run a mirror and am on the distro list and didn't even hear about this. Post up on the frontpage por favor admins...
