As stated in the above links, mythvideo database access is the only 
section completely altered.  MythTV got split and renamed to MythBE, but 
all the functions are still there. Access to the settings table can be 
wrapped and used in the old format with a couple lines of code. The old 
logging code was almost non-existent.

If need be, I have wrappers for all of the old mythvideo functions, but 
chose not to include them.
