Glad to hear so many people have it running via VMs good now.  I know years
ago people would end up with issues with broken recordings.  For that
reason in my case everything on my server is virtualized or containered
except mythtv.  I don't get the ease of snapshots on upgrades, but the same
isolation where nothing else happening screws up myth.
