These were my ideas:

- the setting could be applied as a command line option via the -O 
option on startup of the frontend, or by updating the settings table 
using a database tool.

- For android, it could be done using a database tool to update the 
settings table, since it is not easy to supply command line options with 
android.

I was really only for power users. They would have to be aware of the 
risks. Normal users using the released versions of MythTV would not hit 
the problem of schema mismatches.

Note you cannot override the database version with the -O option. There 
is code to prevent that in MythTV.
