In media-tv/tvheadend-4.2.8, the service file is broken. It reads: > ExecStart=/usr/bin/tvheadend -p /run/tvheadend/tvheadend.pid -c "${TVHEADEND_CONFIG}" ${TVHEADEND_OPTIONS} A ${name} variable will _not_ be split, and the line is _not_ parsed by a shell, so argv becomes `[…]-c\0"/etc/tvheadend"\0--foo --bar --baz`, instead of the intended `[…]-c\0/etc/tvheadend\0--foo\0--bar\0--baz`. Solution: > ExecStart=/usr/bin/tvheadend -p /run/tvheadend/tvheadend.pid -c ${TVHEADEND_CONFIG} $TVHEADEND_OPTIONS This removes the quotes around ${TVHEADEND_CONFIG} (which will be one argument even if one makes the questionable choice to have paths with spaces) and the braces in $TVHEADEND_OPTIONS, so that it will be split on spaces like one would expect.
