If you upgrade to +0.22 without following these directions carefully, you could end up +with a database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to +fix. + +Note that not all mythtv users need to modify their databases, and +this should only be performed at the time of the upgrade. The guide +below contains instructions that can be used to determine if this +problem pertains to you. + +Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions: + + http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding + +Be sure to save a database backup using mysqldump before upgrading. +Also, be sure to upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to +0.22 at the same time. The upgrade instructions need to be followed +once per database - individual client/backend upgrades do not require +these steps. + +If you do run into problems with your upgrade, there is a forum thread +where you may be able to find help: + + http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-816566-highlight-.html + |
