<div dir="ltr">I was running Jaunty with trunk for ever (really, forever -- at least as long as Jaunty was out). <br>When I upgraded, I did the old, back up the database, reformat the hard drive and install path.<br><br>An interesting thing happened... For some obscene reason, my mythconverg database chose to be case sensitve. One may wonder what the big deal is, but all over the myth code, people were not consistant in DBSchemaVer (as well as other settiings).. So everytime I would bring up a frontend, it went and tried to upgrade, but since it could not find the version, it flipped out and started hacking away at my data. I ultimately did a PARTIAL recover and that seemed to fix things (of course, I had to drop the database first, rerun mythtv-setup, re-add my tuners, channels, etc...). I still do not understand what happened to change the behavior of Mysql during this process<br clear="all">
<br>I am not trying to throw stones, so please don't take offense. I realize people are spending time away from loved ones when they donate their time to this project. I think this project is by far one of the best collaborative efforts I have been a user of.<br>
<br>I propose two things. 1) Don't mix case in any setting in the settings table. 2) An effort be made to change every reference in code to lowercase values for items in the settings table.<br><br>-- <br>--Dave<br>
