Command line editing can easily be accomplished with something like the mysql client.<br><br>mysql -uuser -ppassword mythconverg<br>: describe settings;<br>: select data from settings;<br>etc.<br><br>But one might find vim/emacs/nano/... easier. But I would argue that if you're
<br>the type who wants to do command like editing, then mysql client isn't that hard.<br><br>With relations for configuration files mythtv doesn't need to come up with yet another<br>configuration file format :)<br><br><div>

<br><br>I agree 100% using databases for holding information like the program<br>guide, but what about configuration? I would really like to ssh in to<br>change some settings, such as which software is being used to playback
