The thing is that I have to (currently) run mythbackend as root, but I don't want to keep all the config data in root, but in mythtv. Adding the --graboptions --config-file "/home/mythtv/.mythtv/Satellite.xmltv" appears to work for me. It got updated last night, although MythWeb Backend status reports it as 'currently running' and it isn't. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
