I'm afraid I hadn't noticed that you are still with fc30, and there 
probably won't be any more updates there.  It might be best to uninstall 
the mythtv packages, upgrade to fc31, and then reinstall mythtv from 
fc31 testing.  Or maybe just wait a few days?  There have been a few 
posts on the rpmfusion list about this, but the main result has been 
building the new packages (by Richard, not me).

The fc30 -> fc31 upgrade itself seems to have gone well for me; 
apparently complex but amazingly smooth - but somehow my net address got 
changed and my homebuilt mythtv frontend (current master) couldn't find 
the DB.  Still not quite back to normal, but ::1 seems to work...
