Description Dan A. Dickey 2009-08-17 17:49:22 UTC

The mtd service is not starting at boot time.
The file mtd.init.d in the ebuild needs the HOME environment variable set in it.
The mtd.init.d files is installed into /etc/init.d/mtd

Simply - add the line:
    export HOME=/etc/mythtv

to the start() section, before the ebegin.
I copied the HOME setting and value from the mythbackend service startup.
mtd needs it too.

We might have to actually look at if we need/want to create some symlinks.
