This is a major upgrade to mythtv, and there are some major changes to how it works. Most likely these should be a news item or a warning in the ebuild. 1. The backend now sources /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv for its configuration but there was no mention of this anywhere. Previously sources /home/mythtv/.mythtv 2. Hardware accelerated H.265/HEVC decoding with VDPAU is not available in mythtv-30.x, if it is needed in your use case they recommend staying on 29.x 3. MythTV treats and configures the HDHomerun tuners very differently. I noticed the new USE-flag and set it, but this will cause tuners to stop working on upgrade. The latter two are mentioned here: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_30 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade an old 29.x install 2. Try starting mythbackend Actual Results: rc-status reports a crash

Would this wording make it less confusing? 2. Hardware accelerated H.265/HEVC decoding with VDPAU now uses system libraries. Internal support is removed from mythtv-30.x, if it is needed in your use case they recommend staying on 29.x
