I've then checked MythTV <br>Backend Status with "sudo status mythtv-backend" and got:<br>mythtv-backend stop/waiting.<br><br>I started MythTV backend with "sudo start mythtv-backend":<br>"mythtv-backend start/running, process 5703."<br>But just immediately after that "sudo status mythtv-backend" is still<br>mythtv-backend stop/waiting.<br><br>Why is it not possible to start mythtv-backend?<br></blockquote>I'll second the suggestion to post logs.<br><br>Additional notes:<br><br>mythbackend, when properly installed, is a service which should start automatically.<br><br>It requires mysql -- another service -- to also be up and running.<br><br>After my last install mythbackend was failing -- timing out -- because it couldn't find mysql.<br><br>If I started it manually it came up and stayed up. I eventually added a short sleep statement in the mythbackend service script in /etc/init.d (or whatever passes for that in Fedora 19).<br><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;"></blockquote></div></body></html>
