<p>The value of -DMYTH_RUN_PREFIX= determines where it
should run from. I suspect that you had
-DMYTH_RUN_PREFIX set as some incorrect value.<br>
</p>
<p>Also at run time you can use MYTHTVDIR=/usr/local to
override an incorrect MYTH_RUN_PREFIX used when
building.</p>

<p>Did you export MYTHTVDIR=/usr/local in the systemd service?</p>
<p>Better to build with the correct MYTH_RUN_PREFIX so that you
don't need to specify MYTHTVDIR in the systemd service. I only use
MYTHTVDIR for testing and debugging or when running mythbackend
from the command line.</p>
<p>Peter</p></div></blockquote><div>I'm not completely sure I understand the MYTH_RUN_PREFIX. If I'm building with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/my_mythtv_cmake_output but I intend to copy the content of the my_mythtv_cmake_output directory to /usr then I need to add -DMYTH_RUN_PREFIX=/usr?? </div><div><br></div><div>Jim A</div><div> <br></div></div></div>
