You could try running myhtbackend with:
mythbackend -v siparser > /var/log/mythbackendsi.txt for a while and
then take a look at that text file.
Since I am a absolute Linux newbie could you explain this to me like you
would explain it to a 5 year old. So to what terminal do I have to go, do I
have to be logged in as root? And how do I stop the backend, before
restarting it with these parameters.
You can go to any terminal window.
Switch to root with the command:
su -
As root you can terminate most running processes. You can see that your are running as root, by the prompt changing from $ (non-root) to # (root).
Kill the running mythbackend with:
killall mythbackend
Then run Johans command:
mythbackend -v siparser > /var/log/mythbackendsi.txt
From a second terminal window you can open the log file with any editor of your choice. If you are not familiar with any, then nano and pico are good choices, because they have a small onscreen help menus. If you are familiar with WordStar, then joe is a good choice. So f.ex:
nano /var/log/mythbackendsi.txt
