Comment (by rcrdnalor):

 @Bill,

 please check the sql query output of

 {{{
 select * from settings where value = 'MythArchiveProjectXCmd';
 }}}

 Mine is set to `projectx`.

 What I did in the past (mythtv fixes/0.25) was to create an executable
 shell script in '/usr/local/bin' with name `projectx`:


 {{{
 #!/bin/sh

 exec java -jar /path/to/ProjectX.jar "$@"
 }}}

 If java complains about not able to start in headless mode,
 use
 {{{
 #!/bin/sh

 exec java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /path/to/ProjectX.jar/ProjectX.jar
 "$@"
 }}}

 Change the path to projectX.jar according your needs.

 Alternately, you can try instead of `"$@"` : `$@` or `$*` (without
 quotes).

 Do not forget to make this script executable.

 Unfortunately, I do not have this setup now on my test server, and I
 haven't recorded mpeg2 SD content for years.
