Still haven't seen a response that answers the question
"Why should I<br>
use 31 and not 30?". Are there bug fixes, features,
improvements of any<br>
kind? So far, all I've seen are new bugs.<br>

<p>So, unless you have new hardware (like Intel video) and need to
upgrade your distro and your distro's current version only
supports the latest version (which was my situation), don't
upgrade. (others have posted "don't upgrade unless you HAVE to")<br>
</p>
<p>But, if you want to stay current for the sake of being able to
run the latest (of everything, not just Myth), you need to figure
out how to configure XMLTV (figure on at least a couple of days,
if not a couple of weeks for that one) and re-configure your
playback profile (unless you have Nvidia).</p>
<p>I had a super-stable system for years, running nicely on a dual
core AMD with Nvidia. Everything just worked. Then, I fell for
the Meltdown/Spectre debacle and upgraded all my software to be
"safe" (I still think it was a conspiracy between
hardware/software vendors to get people like me who were perfectly
happy with status quo to throw out perfectly good systems and buy
new ones). My system turned into an absolute slug so I had to
upgrade the hardware: just what the conspirators had in mind! :)
I'm getting close to that state, again, but it's been a LOT of
work (the latest is a cron job that kills the stuck mythcommflag
processes that never end and cause others to queue up behind it).<br>
</p>
<p>I really DO appreciate all the work being put into this system.
Thank you to all who supply the continuously advancing technology
that gives me something to play with while sheltering in place.
