Can anyone point me to the screen in R8 that controls backend logging to the database?
It use to be on the General page of the Setup Menu.
Thanks

edit /etc/conf.d/mythbackend|mythfrontend and add --nodblog or other options that fits your needs.

The files are optional, but they do get sourced by the backend and frontend service if present.
Just create them and add whatever options. Below are the default values.
[root@onynx sv]# cat /etc/conf.d/mythbackend
MYTH_ARGS="-q --syslog local6 channel"
and this is the default for mythfrontend.
MYTH_ARGS="-d --syslog local6"

Will that also take care of the "Backend Logs" heading in mythweb as well?

I created a /etc/conf.d/mythbackend file with the following entry. Code: MYTH_ARGS="-q --syslog --nodblog local6 channel" Then rebooted the box looks like it it still logging though. ps -ef |grep mythbackend returns Code: root 626 603 0 16:34 ? 00:00:00 runsv mythbackend
root 647 626 0 16:34 ? 00:00:00 su mythtv -c /usr/bin/mythbackend -q --syslog local6
mythtv 3120 647 7 16:34 ? 00:01:09 /usr/bin/mythbackend -q --syslog local6
root 4243 3930 0 16:50 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mythbackend So for some reason it's not picking up the contents of file created in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend Any ideas?

oops you found a bug #first remove channel from the MYTH_ARGS line that was leftover from my testing the service script sources conf.d/mythbackend but never makes use of it 1) edit /etc/sv/mythbackend/run 2) At the very bottom of the file the following snippit and make the change as shown. 3) reboot OR run remove_service.sh mythbackend ; add_service.sh mythbackend Code: if pacman -Q mythtv | grep -q 0.24
then
exec su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mytht
v/mythbackend.log"
else
#exec su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/mythbackend -q --syslog local6" <<===change this line to look like the one below
exec su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/mythbackend $MYTH_ARGS"
fi
# fi

Made the changes you suggested, however now mythbackend never starts. If I grep mythbackend I get. Code: [root@mythtv2 ~]# ps -ef | grep mythbackend
root 712 691 0 13:28 ? 00:00:00 runsv mythbackend
root 2820 2763 0 13:29 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mythbackend

try running /etc/sv/mythbackend/run from the console and see what output it gives.
Also might be useful to echo out the contents of $MYTH_ARGS or add set -x to the top of the run script (for testing purposes only)
