can be reset to defaults by going into mythfrontend Utilities/Setup|Edit
Keys, then using MENU to select "Reset All Keys to Defaults" (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/487153#487153 ) on
any frontend whose key bindings you want to reset.

which could have been reset/cleared by using mythtv-setup to do a

and a "Delete all video sources" (not "Delete all video sources on

But would make the rest of your system function properly--and without
any concerns over the integrity of your database schema or data.

Right, I'm suggesting you either do a full restore--and then use MythTV
tools to clean up what you don't like--or start over with a supported
partial restore. I can't guarantee that HLS would work with your old
recordings if you do the partial restore using the restore script, but
at that point, I'd be motivated to help debug the issues, since I
wouldn't have any reason to assume your DB is corrupt.
