Hi;

If user mythtv can write to directory /var/log/mythtv, then yes.

You could also make a directory /var/log/mythtv-logpath to keep
your 'normal' --syslog where it is (and with its current permissions.)

The reason for harping on the write permissions is that some
distributions have /var/log/mythtv owned by some other user.

Disclosure: I've never used --syslog and --logpath at the same time.
Not saying it's wrong, I've just never done it.
