mythtv does not yet bring systemd unit files. The mythtv-wiki shows a possible file for mythbackend (working for me so far): http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Systemd_mythbackend_Configuration Reproducible: Always

I run it with 0.26.0_p20130729 ... it records and I could watch recordings via a separate frontend. mythweb works etc No specific logging problems noticed so far.

I think I get it now: "journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=" does not show mythbackend.service as a choice ... which might be related to the special logging of mythtv. I will try to play with it soon ... right now the system records *essential* stuff from TV ;-)
I could commit the unit files but... how major are that pending problems? :|
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) > I could commit the unit files but... how major are that pending problems? :| I'll defer to those running under systemd. If those using the files don't have any issues I'm also more than happy to commit them, and there will be another fixes bump coming soon (I'm a bit behind on that). One of these days I'll get my box running mythtv running systemd...
Will wait then :)
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) > I could commit the unit files but... how major are that pending problems? :| Aside from the mentioned issue w/ journalctl I don't see major problems. The system works and records fine. Currently I am away from home, so I can't debug things for the next week or so. I vote for committing the unit file to get more users to test it.
Ok, this is in portage. I did some testing in a VM and it appears to work fine (short of actually setting up tuners/etc). If there is a better solution for the logging I'm all ears, but mythtv-0.26+ is pretty intrusive there.
