<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><br><br>> I'm not directing this at you in particular this just happens to be a<br><div>> typical example.<br>> <br>> i think some people are reading into what devs say and assuming<br>> the worse. Has any dev said any of this will be impossible? OK you<br>> might have to do it through the services API and not use mysql<br>> directly but there is no reason that can't be done.<br>> <br>> I don't think users understand what impact all this negativity has<br>> on a project that is struggling to keep a float :(<br>> <br><br><br>Hi, everyone. I'm just a mythtv user, and a when-needed translator, and I've been passively following this thread, as I think others do, too. I'd just like to say that I'm also one of the users that find it useful to just fire-up phpMyAdmin and directly edit the database, either for channels or video metadata (the qt keyboard can't create 'accented' characters in Greek). <br>I, too see that this project has slowed down its development speed because 'life happens' and it's something that is getting me worried, to a degree. But I have every confidence to the devs (which I prove daily since I use the master branch ;-) ) that the project will move to the right direction, which ever that will be. <br><br>Please don't give up. I know that constant complains can be very frustrating (I have two daughters......) but if my email is any indication, there are users out there - and here - that will accept the devs' decisions (and the tools they will most graciously provide ;-) ) to manage and fully use this extremely powerful and capable entertainment system.<br><br>> Last word from me it's just not worth the hassle.<br>> <br>> Paul H.<br><br>Yes it is!<br><br>Best regards,<br>Yianni.<br></div> </div></body>
