Just an FYI, it required multiple installation attempts (but that is easy with virtualbox) but I eventually got it working with the following:<div><br></div><div><div>mythbackend --version</div><div>Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.</div>
<div>MythTV Version : v0.25.3</div><div>MythTV Branch : fixes/0.25</div><div>Network Protocol : 72</div><div>Library API : 0.25.20120506-1</div><div>QT Version : 4.8.1</div></div><div><br></div><div>0.26 and 0.24 did not work well with my usb HD-PVR for some reason.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Virtualbox 4.2.0 (with guest additions (make sure to reinstall these if you do any kernel upgrade))</div><div><br></div><div>The beauty of this setup is now I can do maintenance or test new configurations (in a clone) without ever bringing my operational virtualbox down (i.e. frontends never know).</div>
<div><br></div><div>A few other things - mounting my old ext3 and ext4 drives worked and could be mounted by the guest, but for some reason the rate was slow (3-4 MBps), so I migrated all of it to "Shared folders" which actually reside in the host but are mounted by the guest.</div>
<div>Finally, make sure to set the guest network card to "bridged adapter" so that it gets its own ip address, mac, etc. and everything passes transparently to the guest.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
