Myth 0.28 on Mint 20?

Post by Crash Gordon »

I have a backend running 0.28. Decided to set up a fresh install frontend with Mint Cinnamon 20. But when I install mythtv-frontend, it installs Myth 31 which will not talk to my backend.

And when I try to add the 0.28 ppa so I can install myth-frontend 0.28, I get the error “This PPA does not support focal”.

At this point I’m pretty much at a dead end.

Any particular reason for not upgrading the backend? You can upgrade without doing a new install.

The last time I tried upgrading my backend I lost everything including the database and had to rebuild from scratch. So I'm a little gunshy.

But I'm trying to build 0.28.2 from source on Mint 20 for a new frontend and it's not going well. Current problem is something with exiv2.
