Part of the reason I'm upgrading is the quirky problems I currently
have. The main reason, though, is I'm running FC7 which has not been
supported for a while. I figure I'll give it a try just exporting the
tables I think I'll need. If something doesn't work (or I still have
quirky problems) I'll just dump the DB and load from the full dump.
Here's what I've decided to export:
mysqldump -u mythtv -p -t mythconverg record recorded \
oldrecorded recordedprogram recordedrating \
recordedmarkup recordedseek channel videosource > fc7_mythtables.sql
I'll post the results.
