I'd like to fix that, but I suppose I can commit the > current version. what do you mean exactly with "setting my MySQL" ? since i ported it to support postgresql, i had a different proces to get it running ( running altered DDL over and over again to fight the nightmare of different mysql-datatypes ). i did not make a port, but i am willing to help. but if people are interested in a 0.18-fixes-postgresql-heavily-modified port of mythtv, let me know. if there is enough interest we might pull it off. but i got the impression of the list that only the most recent version of mythtv is worth aiming for ( i have no need to go to .19 or .20 ) regards, usleep
