Hi Daryl, glad you got it working again. I've rarely used anything
other than MythCenter-wide, but I have a few non-standard lines in there
too. I'm confess, having a DB going back to 2005, that I'm slightly
bemused by the 'checking for new themes once an hour' message :-) Have
you tried going back to MCW again or are you happy in 'ain't broke' mode?
I'm currently away from base with an old laptop,
SL6 master [v0.28-pre-2575-g6dfbb43] www.mythtv.org
Qt version: compile: 4.8.5, runtime: 4.8.6
3.10.101-1.el6.elrepoNONPAE.i686
so I don't expect to be making any more comments on recent features for
the time being!
John
