Mythtv backend and frontend protocol version mismatch

[statmobile]

Well, I'm not sure if the gentoo community can help me here, but I just setup my mythtv backend server using knoppmyth (sorry, but it was just too easy to pass up). Everything sans lirc work fine on that machine. Well, apparently the version of knoppmyth runs a newer version of mythtv (0.19.2), but portage only seems to have 0.18.2. Well, this version difference kind of leaves me hanging, because the frontend on gentoo can't connect to the knoppmyth backend.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Nope. You have to run "similar" versions of the MythTV front-end and back-end. The database formats are different between the versions you have installed so there is no way to make it work. Run an older version of KnoppMyth or build your own MythTV on Gentoo.

I'd like to know where you're getting these versions from. The latest version I can see in portage is 0.18.1-r2 (0.18.1 is the most recent officially-released version, although there is a sort of 0.18.2 branch in MythTV svn for bugfixes and this is what KnoppMyth not appears to use.) I can't find any trace of a 0.19.2 anywhere - 0.19 hasn't been released yet.

Unfortunately, as has been said, the only solution to "version mismatch" errors is to use the same version of MythTV throughout. Note that IIRC the protocol version number *isn't* the same as the MythTV version number - this may be what is causing the confusion.

If the latest KnoppMyth runs the version I think it does (0.18.2 or similar), then try pulling the 0.18-fixes branch from SVN and building it by hand:
