I figured that was the branch I was supposed to use, but I was getting 
an error in the mfdb-json.php file at line 428 when I tried doing the 
initial download, complaining that you can't call the json() member 
function on a string object.  So I restored my database from backup, and 
switched to master, and had no problems.

But since I'm supposed to be using the 20140530 branch, will there be a 
problem switching?  Will I have to delete my videosources in MythTV and 
setup everything again?  Or can I just switch branches?

Thanks!
