Subject: [mythtv-users] change or reset configuration directory




I've been redoing my mythtv setup from scratch.

However at some point I must have done the wrong thing because I have ended up with the 'configuration directory' being my desktop users .mythtv directory not my mythtv users .mythtv directory. When I run mythfrontend as the mythtv user it can't generate the metadata files because the permissions are wrong.

Where can I alter the configuration directory?

2013-12-23 08:38:49.476048 C  Qt version: compile: 4.8.4, runtime: 4.8.4
2013-12-23 08:38:49.476053 N  Enabled verbose msgs:  general
2013-12-23 08:38:49.476065 N  Setting Log Level to LOG_INFO
2013-12-23 08:38:49.476217 N  Using runtime prefix = /usr/local
2013-12-23 08:38:49.476229 N  Using configuration directory = /home/mark/.mythtv

Bonus points for answering my own question: "export HOME=/home/mythtv".

I will need to read through here more to understand better the detail of loading the frontend, with mythbuntu I never had to worry about it. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Loading_Script

Interestingly it does not appear to have fixed my problem but does move troubleshooting on to the next thing.
