[mythtv-users] Re: remote frontend and mtd

[Geo]

The reason we got no jobs was both the daemon not loading and the dvd was not mounting properly.  We remarked out (put a # in front of /dev/hdb in our case) the dvd roms mount in fstab and this seemed to fix that issue.  Another big one was getting the daemon to run at boot.  We fixed this by creating a script in /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart (we called it runmtd.sh).  We just used one command line, here is the script we wrote:

 

#! /bin/sh

#script to launch transcode daemon at startup

 

kdesu -u -root -c /user/bin/mtd -d

exit

 

This will run mtd as a daemon with root permissions.  The issue we have now is permission to write to the nfs mount as a regular user (it will only let mythtv write to the mount ONLY if it is launched as root), we have not figured that one out yet.  Seems to be something in the NFS permissions on the backend.

Hey folks.

I have looked in the archives but the search strings i tried sis not 
reveal 
anything useful. i have a remote frontend in my living room and the 
backend 
is in the basement. I want to be able to rip dvds into my movie archive 
but 
when i run the MTD daemon on the backend or the frontend (i have tried 
both 
and various combos), the frontend says there is "no jobs"

hope i have provided enough info for you folks to know what i am 
talking 
about.

Thanks folks.

Brian
