<pre wrap="">What?? Okay, something changed in the time between installs for the
backend and frontend. I took it all down, updated everything with yum
on both boxes, even "reinstall" on the mythtv components. Still, no
good. Then I noticed that the backend and frontend report different
versions, thus:

Same kernel, different mythtv version, different branch! wtf? I
installed both directly via yum, using the atrpms repo -- why are the
versions vastly different? Why is one trunk, and the other
branches/release-0-21-fixes? Version 17446 version 17961M, too. I
have been stuck here for ... well, let's just say an embarassing number
of days now.

For one machine you activated atrpms-bleeding. This is intended just
for testing development of mythtv.

Bingo. I believe that I did that before settling the mythtv install.
I had used the atrpms-bleeding for packages related to pymedia along
the way, and a yum update left the 0.22 stuff all over. Even though I
used yum to remove all the mythtv components, and my atrpms.repo file
no longer enabled bleeding, it still didn't right itself completely.
So removing mythtv with yum, followed by a locate/xargs/rm on
everything matching '*myth*' (excluding /var/lib/mythtv path), and then
a new install of mythtv with yum -- fixed the problem apparently
completely. After that, it just worked - easier than ever. My major
mistake was believing that yum would remove the mythtv-bleeding package
files, which it did not, I suppose because the repo file had been
changed along the way. (? not sure, but it works, and I'm happy now so
no reason to complain ;-)<br>

Thanks Axel and Michael for your quick response and advice!<br>
