 |
|
Im getting an error every time i run the mythtv frontend.
| Quote: | | mythtv could not connect to the master backend server |
When I run:
ps auxw | grep mythbackend
I get:
| Quote: | | root 18340 0.0 0.0 1560 504 pts/1 S+ 22:27 0:00 grep --colour=auto mythbackend |
The frontend and backend are on the same computer.
Here is a copy of my /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

Try, as root | Code: | mkdir -p /home/recordings
chown mythtv:users /home/recordings -R
chmod 775 /home/recordings |
and restart the mythbackend service. |
