Do not change hostnames. Change ~/.mythtv/config.xml on all machines<br>
running a back or frontend for all users to point to the new location<br>
ip address for the database.<br>
Then restore your backup from the rpi on the lenovo.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>IIRC restoring a database with a hostname trieli will fail to restore on a machine with a hostname daryl?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
After this it should work as before with the rpi still as the master<br>
and the lenovo as the slave.<br>
Next I think, but I have never tried it, you change the lenovo through<br>
mythtv-setup to master. I think then the rpi will automatically<br>
degrade to slave. But if you want to keep using it as slave you best<br>
check.<br></blockquote><div>Yes, I've made these changes, back and forth making either Master or Slave. I want to retire the RPi. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
