Since installing 0.25-fixes on my main box I've had problems with<br>
MythArchive. I think this may be because the config settings are<br>
defined by the frontend but are being read using the hostname of the<br>
backend. The lines in the mythburn.py script read<br>
<br>
DB = MythTV.MythDB()<br>
configHostname = DB.gethostname()<br>
<br>
I've tried a direct hack in mythburn.py that looked hopeful. What would<br>
be the way of getting the frontend's 'Custom Identifier' from the DB<br>
instead?<br>

OK, it works for me (in creation of a playable DVD) if the 'Custom identifier' from Frontend Setup > General > page 2 is used as configHostname.<br>
<br>
If defined it's LocalHostName in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt. Isn't that the file that's being phased out? config.xml doesn't have it and I haven't found it in the DB.<br>
<br>
I suspect this is also the cause of the lack of a progress log in 'Create an Archive' mode, Ticket #10505, but I don't think that's done through mythburn.py and my hack doesn't change it. A usable Archive is created.<br>
<br>
A warning: while I was investigating this, a chmod called within mythburn.py walked recursively all over my home directory. I've commented that line out. There are some multi-delete sections too...<div class="HOEnZb">
