Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have a multi-system MythTV setup at home as follows:<br>
<br>
* Combined FE/Master BE in the living room<br>
* Bedroom FE<br>
* Slave BE, MySQL Server, audio/video/recording storage in the loft<br>
<br>
The two FEs are installed off MythDora 5, the slave backend is Fedora 7<br>
and ATRPMs<br>
<br>
I'm quite interested to try out <a href="http://www.boxee.tv/" target="_blank">http://www.boxee.tv/</a> with a view to<br>
replacing MythVideo, MythMusic and MythGallery, but there are a raft of<br>
known issues with getting this to run on Fedora without throwing<br>
yourself into dependency hell (and my skills aren't up to contributing<br>
the necessary changes to accomodate). There are, however, binary<br>
releases for Ubuntu 8/9. My question is, how "compatible" are MythDora<br>
and MythBuntu? My main concern is the BE protocol version; is this<br>
consistent across the 0.21-fixes branch?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Quick answer: NO, unless you're compiling your own to ensure the EXACT same version.<br><br>Your concern about protocols is only the beginning. The real issue is database schema updates, which are not done on hard version numbers. <br>
<br>You WILL eventually run into problems, and it WILL annoy everyone on the list when you bring up that you're running two different patchlevels.<br></div></div>
