<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 name="st">mtd</span> -d</p>
<p>exit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This will run <span name="st">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.

<div><span><br><br>Hey folks.<br><br>I have looked in the archives but the search strings i tried sis not <br>reveal <br>anything useful. i have a remote frontend in my living room and the <br>backend <br>is in the basement. I want to be able to rip dvds into my movie archive
<br>but <br>when i run the MTD daemon on the backend or the frontend (i have tried <br>both <br>and various combos), the frontend says there is "no jobs"<br><br>hope i have provided enough info for you folks to know what i am
<br>talking <br>about.<br><br>Thanks folks.<br><br>Brian<br></span></div>

</a><br><br>so do i run MTD on the <span class="st0" id="st" name="st">frontend</span> machine and if so how does it know where to put everything, or do i run it on the backend and again if so how does the front end know to speak to the backend regarding transcoding?
