Ok, reviving this conversation!
I ran into the issue that user mythtv can not create the file
/var/run/mythbackend.pid. I see other services that have their pid
file owned by their own user...
Also, user mythtv can't write to the log file in /var/log/mythtv/
How do I do this with systemd?

It looks like I'll be taking over mythtv packaging for RPM Fusion and
I noticed it still only uses a sysv init script.
In the sysv script it sets some ACL permissions on video and audio

changes it back.
I don't see any way to

You don't need to specified /bin/sh if your script starts with
