Certainly an option. I didn't go that path because I hold out hope for the real time threads feature.
AFAIK, real-time threads are only used in the frontend, not the backend.
I'm sure there was a reason I thought the backend was better running as root, but you seem to be correct. I'm testing a patch to the init script to fix the problem instead of that one.
Does anyone know how to make something like:
export HOME=~${USER}actually work in sh?
export HOME=/home/mythtv and export HOME=~mythtv
both set HOME to /home/mythtv
but having USER as a variable sets HOME to "~mythtv" which is then not expanded into "/home/mythtv".
Anyway, it seems adding one of the first two to the init script fixes the problem I was having, so that patch is not needed.
Be well,
Will :-}
