[mythtv-users] Can't get it to work

[Mark Tiddens]

Thanks much!  I will keep fooling with it to get it to work per the help,
but it does sound like something we can't deploy en masse.  All we wanted
was a TV viewer that gets all channels.  As I initially noted, TVtime does
channels in the hundreds but not the channels in the thousands.  Maybe we
can get Tvtime to extend to these channels...

Your backend logs are the console output of your backend.  So if you have
invoked it with the logfile option, or redirected console output of the
backend process to a file, then it will be in that file.
Alternately, your packager may have set up a logfile.  In Linux, log files
are generally lcoated in /var/log somewhere.  I reiterate that MythTV in the
US will be of little use without schedules direct, and if basic permissions
problems cause you issues, I fear that you may have a major, major uphill
battle in trying to use myth on your employer's box.  Even for those of use
who know Myth front to back, we would still never think of deploying it en
masse as the support burden would be huge.  If you are serious about putting
it on a piece of hardware, you should really hire someone (or someones) who
know myth code inside and out.  You may be interested in:

For that purpose.
