<div>My previous discussion on this in Debian 12 with mythtv
from <a href="http://deb-multimedia.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">deb-multimedia.org</a> is buried in a
long thread so I'm creating a new one with new information.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It was pointed out that deb-multimedia's version of mythtv
v34 from stable-backports has an additional line in the
systemd service, mythtv-backend.service.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family:monospace">Environment=HOME=/var/lib/mythtv</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I created my user 'mythtv' before installing mythtv I
used:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family:monospace">sudo addgroup --gid 200
mythtv<br>
sudo adduser --ingroup mythtv --home /home/mythtv --shell
/bin/bash --uid 200 mythtv</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This was causing the mythtv Web App to use an incorrect
mythconverg password, 'mythv' and it would not connect to the
database.<br>
</div>
</div>

Do you mean mythweb? The web app is the new page on port 6544 in
V34. mythweb is deprecated. The web app does not use the database.<br>

</div>
<div>I could get around this by copying the real password from
/etc/mythtv/config.xml to the field in the web app for the
mythconverg password.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also found out that I could edit the
mythtv-backend.service with:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <span style="font-family:monospace">sudo systemctl edit
--full mythtv-backend.service</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and change the Environment= to:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family:monospace">Environment=HOME=/home/mythtv</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That was pointed out to me, but I was too stupid at that
time to understand that. However, with a lot of experimenting
thanks to timeshift and btrfs I could try out multiple
installs and test this to prove it out.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for all the help from those on this list.</div>
