Due to an incompatibility between MythTV 0.21 and the default Gentoo |
| 23 |
MySQL configuration, it is likely that long-time MythTV users will |
| 24 |
have databases with a mixture of locale encodings. If you upgrade to |
| 25 |
0.22 without following these directions carefully, you could end up |
| 26 |
with a database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to |
| 27 |
fix. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Note that not all mythtv users need to modify their databases, and |
| 30 |
this should only be performed at the time of the upgrade. The guide |
| 31 |
below contains instructions that can be used to determine if this |
| 32 |
problem pertains to you. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions: |

| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Be sure to save a database backup before upgrading. Also, be sure to |
| 39 |
upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to 0.22 at the same |
| 40 |
time. The upgrade instructions need to be followed once per database |
| 41 |
- individual client/backend upgrades do not require these steps. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If you do run into problems with your upgrade, there is a forum thread |
| 44 |
where you may be able to find help: |
