Stephen,

My backend is started on boot by systemd and mythtv-backend.service 
contains in part:

[Service]
User=mythtv
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/mythtv/additional.args
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --quiet --syslog local7 $ADDITIONAL_ARGS
StartLimitBurst=10
StartLimitInterval=10m
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=1

So would I replace the "--quiet" with "-v record"??
