<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">This is interesting... I just did an upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS last weekend. Luckily, mythtv was working fine, but I had major issues with Kodi. I have Kodi dumping the information into a central MySQL database so I can sync it across multiple frontends. On one TV, it was working fine. On another, it would hang when Kodi started. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I stood up another virtual machine with just MySQL and Kodi was working fine. Today I backed up all of the mythtv databases with the mythconverg_backup and mythconverg_restore commands. Then I blew away all the mysql database stuff with apt-get remove and then purged it all. I then reinstalled mysql and then created the myth user and db, then restored the db. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It was surprisingly simple and worked great. Since I've had the new mysql up, I haven't had any issues with Kodi or myth. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I don't know what happened to MySQL during the Ubuntu install, but it definitely screwed something up. I know the Kodi stuff is a bit OT, but hope to warn others of issues with the upgrade too.</div></div>
