[mythtv-users] Mac OSX Fronted Crashes?

[Michael Jones]

Ok.. When I delete the .mythtv folder from the Users directory the, what
we'll call for now, stripped version works just fine.  It can watch tv from
the backend and watch recorded programs.. As long as I set it to it's own
frontend name that I've never used anywhere else.

If I open the new front end (the one compiled with all the plugins) I get
the following in the console log:

===== Saturday, October 15, 2005 2:59:55 AM US/Central =====

If I try to watch TV with this setup.. It added the following entries to the
above:

2005-10-15 03:02:27.294 New DB connection, total: 2
2005-10-15 03:02:27.558 Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-10-15 03:02:27.572 Protocol version mismatch (frontend=18,backend=15)

If I try to watch a recorded program.. I get more entries on the console
log: 

===== Saturday, October 15, 2005 3:12:12 AM US/Central =====
2005-10-15 03:12:18.558 All Programs
length mismatch between programinfo



Note.. I'm on the .18.1 backend..

What am I doing wrong.. Or should I just abandon the fully featured frontend
on the mac side for now..

Thanks for any help..
