Evidently I broke one of the rules. "Never upgrade a working Myth system!". So far I ended up backing up, installing (from latest DVD ISO) and restoring from backups. After much fiddling, I have a system that is at least partially functional. (It records tv shows and I can access files from another computer through shared folders.)
I've got some vexing issues that still remain. #1 When going to the web interface, I get !!NoTrans: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [#1045] I know I solved this before, but it was so long ago I have no idea how. I've scoured the web. Found lots of people reporting the issue, few solutions and none that have worked for me yet. Root user couldn't even log into the database, only mythtv which didn't have any grant permissions. Last thing I tried was killing the mysql instance and doing: mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/paul/mythsetup.txt contents: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd'; ALTER USER 'mythtv'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd'; ALTER USER 'paul'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd'; GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; GRANT ALL ON mythconverg.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; root still says access denied when trying to open mythconverg database... (mysql 5.7.13) https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html #2 Finding the Myth channel for Plex so I can watch on Roku. Can't find it in Plex's channel list and the link I found to download via web browser redirects to the Plex website... Anyone know if it is still viable? #3 Fumble-fingers strikes again... I used tar to back up /home to another partition (NTFS, that I rarely writte to). When going to restore some files from the tgz file, I accidentally typed -c instead of a -x.... So the file got overwritten... I deleted the (now teeny) file. I tried sudo ntfsundelete /dev/sda1 It shows me the teeny file, but not the "real" file. Is there any hope? Not a terrible loss if I can't get the files back, would just be nice. (Stuff like bookmarks, a few files, etc Nothing a terrible loss.)
