I hope there is someone that can point me in right direction xbmc<br>handles few thinks better then mythfrontend<br></blockquote></div><div><br></div>I've been wondering about this myself. I'm currently using XBMC 10 as a frontend for an aging MythTV 0.23 backend, and it's upgrade time.<div>
<br></div><div>Looking at the XBMC source code, the most recent Myth protocol version supported is 64. 0.24 uses version 63 and 0.25 uses version 64.</div><div><br></div><div>However, according to the <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Myth_Protocol">Myth Protocol wiki page</a>, XBMC implements the Myth protocol version badly - which essentially means that it will pretend to support a more recent version than it really does. As the wiki says - "<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">This should be considered very dangerous behavior, and should not be used to connect to any production backend."</span></div>
<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">It looks like XBMC generally queries the MySQL database directly, rather than making requests via the Myth protocol, so the protocol version it supports might not matter than much. Of course, if the database structure has changed then there could be problems.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">To sum up - yeah, XBMC Eden might work with 0.25, or it might not. And if it doesn't, then it could completely screw up your backend. It's probably worth a try - but make sure you've made backups first!</span></font></div>
