[mythtv] Segfaults on Xebian trying to get mythgame or any plugin working...

[Robert Kohler]

MythTV on Xbox..  plugin question...

I had it installed on my Xbox a while back, running 0.16 release... all 
plugins working.

I upgrade my main FC3 system to be a backend, works fine.  Records, etc.
But, now was not compatible with my Xbox, so I reloaded my XBOX OS to 
Xebian 1.1.0.

I upgrade my Xbox to Xebian 1.1.0, and installed the myth-frontend 
package, which gave me
mythfrontend-0.18.1-3 ...
This seems to work...

But, there is no Mythgame...
So I ventured out after not finding anything on the web, and downloaded 
mythplugins-0.18, and
proceeded to compile it.  After downloading many dependencies, it 
finally compiled.

Now, when I place a libyyyy in the plugins directory, mythfrontend seg 
faults..
See "strace" below.

I think I may be running into a problem where old definitions for my 
xbox are colliding, as my old
machine name for xbox, is the same...

I logged the DB traffic too, and it seems to have it's last call be...

>                      12 Query       SELECT data FROM settings WHERE 
> value = 'GameDBSchemaVer' AND hostname IS NULL


I checked the DB, and had to manually update 1 table I found ...
ALTER TABLE gamemetadata ADD COLUMN rompath varchar(255) NOT NULL 
default '';
ALTER TABLE gamemetadata ADD COLUMN gametype varchar(64) NOT NULL 
default '';

Here is the strace of "mythfrontend"...

If the plugins directory is empty, appears to work fine.
Once I add a plugin, it panics...??

Is there a way to remove all settings for a particular "client" frontend 
from the DB.
Seems to be everywhere...(at least many tables)...
Is there a list of tables I can simply "delete from TABLENAME where 
hostname='xbox.rkohler.com' "?
