How about v29.1? Does Ubuntu offer a choice of MythTV versions?<br><br></blockquote><div>My understanding is that when Ubuntu forced a move to python3 only, that forced a move in versions for mythtv. The release notes of each version of mythtv will note that. So old versions of mythtv will not run on the latest Ubuntu 20.04. If I remember my ancient history, I ran v28 and v29 on Ubuntu 14 and 16. I ran v29 on 18, then moved to v30, Upgraded to v31 on 18, the ungraded to 20.04 still using v31,</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_31">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_31</a></div><div><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_30">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_30</a><br></div><div><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_29">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_29</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
