     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new

Component:  mythtv  |     Version:  unknown
 Severity:  medium  |     Mlocked:  0

 MythTV changes the database character set from latin1 when it is created
 to UTF8 while upgrading the schema, then attempts to create a primary key
 > 1000 bytes (128+255) bytes * 3 (for UTF8) = 1149 bytes total. The schema
 upgrade always fails due to the length of the key.

 Procedure to reproduce:

 1. Create the database with mysql -u root < mc.sql
 2. run mythtv-setup

 Database character set before running mythtv-setup:[[BR]]
 mysql> show variables like "character_set_database";[[BR]]

 character_set_database latin1[[BR]]

 Database character set after running mythtv-setup:[[BR]]
 mysql> show variables like "character_set_database";[[BR]]

 character_set_database utf8[[BR]]
