.29 Mythlight Frontend does not work with .30 Backend
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2019 5:16 pm
This is more a confirmation of information than a question. I did some quick googling and looking around the forum and I couldn't see a clear answer so I took a swing at booting my .29 Mythlight Pi3 frontend after a (shockingly smooth) upgrade of my LinHES based .29 backend to the new LinHES 8.6 release (Mythtv .30 + fixes).
The startup of the (Pi Mythlight .29) Frontend errors due to a database schemea mismatch (mine was something along the lines of the FE being 1348 and the BE being 1350). Perhaps unsurprising but worth knowing before you embark on a multi-machine household upgrade, in case you get caught in the middle with an angry family.
I intended to do a fresh install of the .30 Mythlight packages from scratch and thoroughly document everything to include all the recent learnings about getting everything working with my setup so will proceed with that this morning. Will post those details once complete to give back to the community that has been so helpful to me with Myth over the years.
