Michael,<br><br>I think I mis-interpreted your first post. The backend will run from the init script if you run it by sudo like this right?:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start</blockquote></blockquote><div><br>Yes. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If so, then we need to investigate why it won't run from startup init scripts by default. (You have a different startup problem then what i've noticed on the forums)
</blockquote><div><br>Any pointers on how to diagnose this? Should I put echo statements in and direct them to a separate log file or something?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
For controlling /dev/ttyS0, <br>add mythtv to the "dialout" group. I will notate this to be added to the guide under serial control. I'll also try to remember that feisty packages should do this by default.
</blockquote><div><br>Great, done. We'll see if that works. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">About ivtv control, myth is able to control the devices after these two commands, correct?
</blockquote><div><br>It doesn't need to. I'm using an external tuner so once these two things are set, it should never have to change them. So I have no way of knowing whether it ever gets proper control.<br></div><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">If so, then try adding to /etc/default/mythtv-backend some verbosity switches (probably video related switches) and starting the backend to see if it tells you when it tries to set the channel and input.
</blockquote><div><br>I set the extra args to "-v important,general,channel". There wasn't anything for video.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
