When I try running mtd -n from a shell it gives the output

trying to do something impossible. There is no DVD reader in the

do from there.

You need to configure your frontend machine (
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html ). If you've already
done this, make sure you're starting mtd as the same user that starts
mythfrontend.
HMMM, I finally got tired of that mtd error message, so I just added
it to /etc/rc.local:
#Myth Transcode Daemon
mtd &
This starts mtd as root. You should really run it as your mythtv user
(i.e. using su/sudo).
I can't say I have had any issues with it running that way, and I
start MythFrontend with my regular user account.
I'll have to look at that again.
Since it works for both users, you've either configured your frontend
with <prefix>/share/mythtv/mysql.txt instead of ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
(which is a good way of doing it) or you have ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt in
root's home, also (which, IMHO, is very ugly).
