Thanks for the prompt reply, Jeremiah. I wish I had waited until I had asked my questions before plunging off into thin air. Turns out my MacMyth frontend DID indeed corrupt my backend database! How badly, I'm not sure. I'm attempting to fix things now. So far, all that I've detected is that my video database no longer links the movies with their respective .jpgs/descriptions/imdb info.
Next Questions: 1) i've reinstalled Panther on my MacMyth frontend (it's a scratch disk until I learn how to do this properly!). that wiped out any potential trouble spots. now, which Myth version do I want? I only want to watch movies, so I only need access to MythVideo. So, I downloaded the CVS w/plugins version. It won't allow me past the initial setup screen because there is no backend. best approach? 2) do I need to go through the installation instructions on MythOnMacOSX, and then use the CVS w/plugins version? forgive me for appearing dense! (tis troo, nonetheless!) -Bob K. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
