Installing MTD in openSUSE 11.1
From MythTV Official Wiki
Introduction
These are the instructions on setting up MTD for openSUSE 11.1.
Steps
- Install mythvideo if you haven't already:
zypper install mythvideo
- Create the movie poster directory:
mkdir ~tv/.mythtv/MythVideo;chown -R tv ~tv/.mythtv
- Set up MTD:
- Copy the mtd startup script to /etc/init.d. The copy must be exact, including capturing tabs instead of substituting with spaces.
- Install mtd.
- Make the log directory for MTD.
cp mtd /etc/init.d;chmod go-w /etc/init.d/mtd;chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/mtd cd /usr/sbin;ln -s /etc/init.d/mtd rcmtd mkdir /var/lib/mythdvd;mkdir /var/lib/mythdvd/temp
- Enable MTD which can be done by going into YAST, System, System Services (Runlevel).

# Startup script for Myth Transcoding Daemon (MythTV)
#
# LSB compatible service control script; see http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/
#
# Since we are dependent on mysql as is mythbackend, let's have have it run
# after mythbackend.
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mtd
# Required-Start: mythbackend
# Should-Start: $time
# Required-Stop: $syslog $remote_fs mysql
# Should-Stop: $time
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: Myth Transcoding Daemon
# Description: Transcoding ("ripping") a DVD with MythTV
# requires the Myth Transcoding Daemon (mtd).
# See http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mtd
### END INIT INFO
#
# Any extensions to the keywords given above should be preceeded by
# X-VendorTag- (X-UnitedLinux- X-SuSE- for us) according to LSB.
#
# Notes on Required-Start/Should-Start:
# * There are two different issues that are solved by Required-Start
# and Should-Start
# (a) Hard dependencies: This is used by the runlevel editor to determine
# which services absolutely need to be started to make the start of
# this service make sense. Example: nfsserver should have
# Required-Start: $portmap
# Also, required services are started before the dependent ones.
# The runlevel editor will warn about such missing hard dependencies
# and suggest enabling. During system startup, you may expect an error,
# if the dependency is not fulfilled.
# (b) Specifying the init script ordering, not real (hard) dependencies.
# This is needed by insserv to determine which service should be
# started first (and at a later stage what services can be started
# in parallel). The tag Should-Start: is used for this.
# It tells, that if a service is available, it should be started
# before. If not, never mind.
# * When specifying hard dependencies or ordering requirements, you can
# use names of services (contents of their Provides: section)
# or pseudo names starting with a $. The following ones are available
# according to LSB (1.1):
# $local_fs all local file systems are mounted
# (most services should need this!)
# $remote_fs all remote file systems are mounted
# (note that /usr may be remote, so
# many services should Require this!)
# $syslog system logging facility up
# $network low level networking (eth card, ...)
# $named hostname resolution available
# $netdaemons all network daemons are running
# The $netdaemons pseudo service has been removed in LSB 1.2.
# For now, we still offer it for backward compatibility.
# These are new (LSB 1.2):
# $time the system time has been set correctly
# $portmap SunRPC portmapping service available
# UnitedLinux extensions:
# $ALL indicates that a script should be inserted
# at the end
# * The services specified in the stop tags
# (Required-Stop/Should-Stop)
# specify which services need to be still running when this service
# is shut down. Often the entries there are just copies or a subset
# from the respective start tag.
# * Should-Start/Stop are now part of LSB as of 2.0,
# formerly SUSE/Unitedlinux used X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start/-Stop.
# insserv does support both variants.
# * X-UnitedLinux-Default-Enabled: yes/no is used at installation time
# (%fillup_and_insserv macro in %post of many RPMs) to specify whether
# a startup script should default to be enabled after installation.
# It's not used by insserv.
#
# Note on runlevels:
# 0 - halt/poweroff 6 - reboot
# 1 - single user 2 - multiuser without network exported
# 3 - multiuser w/ network (text mode) 5 - multiuser w/ network and X11 (xdm)
#
# Note on script names:
# http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.3.0/gLSB/gLSB/scrptnames.html
# A registry has been set up to manage the init script namespace.
# http://www.lanana.org/
# Please use the names already registered or register one or use a
# vendor prefix.
# Check for missing binaries (stale symlinks should not happen)
# Note: Special treatment of stop for LSB conformance
