I've only seen this error when a second instance of the backend
is started. Per the log, this one was started by user daryl. If
using systemd, then the proper way is: sudo systemctl start mythtv-backend
which will start the backend service as root and run it as user mythtv.

To see if the backend is running: systemctl status mythtv-backend

Put some aliases in you .bashrc if you like to save time:

   alias mstop='sudo systemctl stop mythtv-backend.service'
   alias mstatus='systemctl status mythtv-backend.service
   alias mstart ...
