for a while but I'm thinking it's time to upgrade. As far as I know, <br>
there's no upgrade path for mythbuntu any more so I'll probably go for a <br>
fresh Ubuntu+Myth install.<br>
<br>
What I'm thinking is to do a mysqldump of the mythconverg db, copy the <br>
files and the dump to the new system then run the db upgrade script. The <br>
thing is, my version of Mythbuntu is really old. It;s actually version <br>
12.04. Is this still a viable upgrade path or am I asking for trouble? <br>
Any better suggestions?<br>

I upgraded to the latest version of Mythbuntu 16.04. Nothing but trouble and I still don't have all the capability I had although it is nice to have subtitles that work. Without the fantastic support of people on this reflector I never would have gotten it working. But I do have to put up with periodic unknown crashes I never had before and I can't use my projector for myth content like I use to. But the subtitles are much improved and the system is faster because of the added memory I had to add to get it to run at all.</div><div><br></div><div>Long ago, when I made the mistake of upgrading 8.04 to whatever the refresh was at that time someone told me that Myth is an appliance and if it ain't broke don't fix it. So what you should be asking yourself is why do you want to upgrade and is it worth spending all your free time for a couple of weeks to do it.</div><div><br></div><div>The views expressed are my own and do not represent the views of the greater Myth community.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen</div></div></div>
