I have a running installation of Mythbuntu 8.04 with a DVB-T card installed, and it’s working pretty good. Recently I wanted to get a user-job running which could transcode selected tv recordings to XVID and move them into the Video folders. Setting up the job was not that difficult but running the job did not produce any output. A view in the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log showed a listing with an error in the nuvexport-xvid script at line 36. But that was not interessting. Furthermore the output in the error log showed
No backends found. Please copy /home/myththtv/.mythtv/config.xml from a working Mythtv installation instead
A quick google gave the result. Normal the mythtv-frontend is running under the logged in user, which in my case was me, but the nuvexport-xvid actually did run under the mythtv user, and therefore not config.xml file was found. A copy of the config.xml from my user directory to the mythtv folder solved the issue.
