<p>The reason we got no jobs was both the daemon not loading and the
dvd was not mounting properly. We remarked out (put a # in front
of /dev/hdb in our case) the dvd roms mount in fstab and this
seemed to fix that issue. Another big one was getting the daemon
to run at boot. We fixed this by creating a script in
/home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart (we called it runmtd.sh). We just
used one command line, here is the script we wrote:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>#! /bin/sh</p>
<p>#script to launch transcode daemon at startup</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kdesu -u -root -c /user/bin/<span id="st" name="st" class="st0">mtd</span> -d</p>
<p>exit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This will run <span id="st" name="st" class="st0">mtd</span> as a
daemon with root permissions. The issue we have now is permission
to write to the nfs mount as a regular user (it will only let mythtv
write to the mount ONLY if it is launched as root), we have not figured
that one out yet. Seems to be something in the NFS permissions on
the backend.</p>
