Make sure that mythbackend doest fire off _before_ rc.local. (Which it does if you follow Jarods guide, or use any rc-skript to start ivtv and mythbackend). Remember: rc.local executes _last_ of _all_ initscripts. After a LOT of trial and error, I use this rc.local /sbin/sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 /sbin/modprobe videodev /sbin/modprobe ivtv /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000 /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 0 /usr/bin/ivtvctl -f width=720,height=576 /sbin/modprobe/lirc_i2c /sbin/service lircd start /usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend -d Prolly not the smartest way.. but it _works_ for me ;) (And yes, there is a reason for the 0x3000 -> 0xff setting. Check list archives for reason). .
