<div dir="ltr">Greetings Mythizens, Pro-actively, and without time
pressures, I've been preparing for the next System upgrade. I've

Those deb-multimedia repositories are designed for plain Debian. The
better approach for ubuntu is to use the Mythbuntu PPA which
publishes builds designed for Ubuntu<br>
Latest stable version:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/0.27">https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/0.27</a><br>
That page gives instructions for installing (see "Adding this PPA to
your system").<br>
<br>
Also, bear in mind the Wily version of Ubuntu is only supported for
9 months. It may be better to wait for the next version 16.04 which
will be supported for 5 years.<br>
<br>
Ubuntu version Wily uses systemd whereas mythtv has up to now been
built using Upstart. I don't know if this has been changed in the
PPA build yet so you may have some issues with the backend not
starting up. This is another reason it may be better to wait for
16.04.<br>
