</span>I personally don't use CentOS for MythTV so I don't know what's out<br>
there and what is not. It would be sad if there was not an 0.27-fixes<br>
for CentOS 7 yet.<br>
<br>
I'm hell bent on dropping any use of Ubuntu around here. I have one<br>
mondo-server left to convert to CentOS still and workstations are<br>
already Fedora.<br>
<br>
But given the present and past state of MythTV support on the RH OSes,<br>
I'm hard pressed to abandon Ubuntu (and Mythbuntu!!) for MythTV. The<br>
Mythbuntu folks are top-shelf on keeping the latest MythTV (i.e.<br>
*-fixes) running on various versions of Ubuntu, including LTSes.<br>
<br>
So here's a shout out to the Mythbuntu folks!<br>
<br>
But Larry, if you are not interested in compiling, maybe you ought to<br>
rethink your choice of CentOS for MythTV also. I.e. apply the right<br>
tool to the job at hand.<br>
<br>

I'm sure there are many in this position, and it sounds like the host file change is the most seamless patch currently. I will probably try it out next weekend, while there's still time to bite the bullet and upgrade all if it doesn't pan out.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Josh<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><br><br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
