</div>or... just a silly idea: what about upgrading to the latest version of<br>
mythtv: version 0.27 instead of running a version long past end of<br>
life?<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Sigh..."I'm not quite ready yet to install 0.27". I asked an honest question. I do realize the developers get this kind of thing from more than a few ignorant end users (similar to the feature requests without patches for "special" cases etc).<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'll lay this out again (not that anyone would remember I have before on the list). I'm a Gentoo user, and part of the reason I haven't upgraded past 0.24 was that Gentoo ebuilds were less than fully supported when 0.25 came around. I was using the github MythTV overlay, but that was abandoned for various (understandable) reasons, and official portage suport was non-existent. That's not blame, just reality--I did not have a valid upgrade path for a while, and 0.24 just worked for me. Because my Myth boxes are dedicated (appliance like), I haven't kept up with official portage updates, so my existing portage snapshop is very old. The dependency updates after a portage refresh will likely cause a cascade of things to break and/or need tweaking (it's happened to me before). I will likely be starting fresh in a new (rsync'd copy) root (chroot) partition when I do install 0.27, but that will require me to either (1) sift through the breakage that results, or (2) install from a clean stage 3 tarball and recreate all of my /etc files. And I have multiple frontends to reconfigure as well--they share the portage snapshot from the backend, but have unique local root partitions.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So I'm wondering if it's possible simply to install tmdb v3 to my system as is, as that's going to be far less time consuming if possible than the alternative. If it's not possible, fine. I just don't know enough about the Python bindings, as they have always been taken care of by the Gentoo ebuild. I've learned from watching the development cycle the past almost 10 years that I'm better off waiting a month or 2 for the dust to settle on a new release and then getting the latest from the -fixes branch.<br>
