<div dir="ltr">I built my mythtv system on ubuntu and used the PPA to install. Seeing 0.28, I of course chose the latest version - not realizing I was using a pre-release version. It's worked well, but I'm running into problems with mythcommflag and the H.264 files I need. Also, I later on decided to create a dedicated front end in my exercise room - only to discover that I couldn't use Mythbuntu.<div><br></div><div>So I'm considering downgrading to 0.27. I know there were significant schema changes and that there's no supported downgrade path. I actually use PLEX for media that I want to keep long term, so just moving all the recordings I want to keep and starting from scratch is an option. But It would be nice to have the recordings available for the frontend machine.</div><div><br></div><div>So, options, in order of want:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Find a miracle, and fInd out that someone has written a script to change the schema and allow me to install 0.27 and get up and running with all my data (YAY). If that's happened, let me know.</div><div><br></div><div><div>2) Find the instructions on how to pull all the video recordings out, rebuild on 0.27, and then import them all back in and have them show up as if I had recorded them.</div></div><div><br></div><div>3) Discover the documentation on the database changes and write my own script that would take a mysqldump and convert it for later restoration into a 0.27 empty database. (I'm capable of both the technical and hours-of-labor/ADD/obsessive-compulsive sides of this, but probably not)</div><div><br></div><div>4) Just accept that the old recordings will not show up in Myth and rebuild from scratch.</div><div><br></div><div>There's also the "Hey, 0.28 is working (mostly), so just leave well enough alone.</div><div><br></div><div>Advice? Ideas?</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>-- <br>Justin B. Alcorn<br>PGP Fingerprint A36D D691 C5B0 BE15 5A2A AF49 AA1C 372C</div>
