[mythtv-users] 0.19 almost working (port or password problems?)

[Mark Knecht]

Thanks Chris,
   OK, after using slocate and removing absolutely _everything_ other
than the mythconverg database that I installed yesterday I am now able
to run mythfrontend successfully on the backend server machine.
Watching Live TV works at least for 1 tuner. I have started two 30
minute test recordings and will know more when they finish at 3PM but
for now they are both displaying correct video in the preview window
so all looks good there.

   Unfortunately my one Mythtv-0.19 remote client seems unable to
connect to the server so I'll have to work out that over the next day.
Of course none of my existing mythtv-0.18 clients will connect, as
expected I'm told, so now I begin the upgrade on those two machines.

   Thanks for the help so far.

Cheers,
Mark
