[mythtv-users] Migrating Myth to a new machine

[Roger McClurg]

My Mythtv server fried. Had a VIA EPIA M-10000 board and looks like it 
died from the bulging capacitor problem. Unfortunately the drive where 
most of my shows was stored died as well. Fortunately the drive that 
contained the OS including the database is OK.

I'm migrating to an Athelon 64 X2 5000 CPU based system. This Myth will 
be a backend only. I'm using my PS3 for the frontend. I know that I have 
toreload the OS (Mythbuntu), backup/restore the data base, and then 
repair it. I think I can get the old OS booted on the VIA board long 
enough to backup the database. After I import it, how do I find the data 
base entries for the missing files and correct them. Once the data base 
is corrected for the missing shows, is there anything else I need to fix 
before I run Mythsetup?

I would certainly appreciate any advice I can get from the list.

Thanks
Roger
