[mythtv-users] 0.26 upgrade and "my-unique-identifier-goes-here"

[Peter Bennett (cats22)]

I just upgraded from Mythtv 0.25 to 0.26 (I am using Ubuntu 12.04)

It all went very smoothly. The one issue I had is that the following
line was added to config.xml.

 <LocalHostName>my-unique-identifier-goes-here</LocalHostName>

I have many shell scripts running against mythtv in the backend and
frontend. I already fixed them for the UTC change and the new layout of
config.xml. However they assume that the LocalHostName tag will contain
either nothing or the system name.

I fixed the problem by deleting that line from the config.xml in each
home/.mythtv directory.

Is this the correct solution, or should I add to my scripts to ignore
the value if it is set to  "my-unique-identifier-goes-here"? Will all of
mythtv function correctly if that tag and value is not present in
config.xml?

My scripts are at https://code.google.com/p/mythtv-scripts/
