Mythfrontend does the same trick for the config.xml file too - it gets<br>
it from the current user's home directory. Usually, the default<br>
installation sets up /home/<user>/.mythtv/config.xml to point to the<br>
/etc/mythtv/config.xml file, or copies /etc/mythtv/config.xml locally.<br>
But you do need to watch for that. There is a reason for this setup -<br>
it allows you to use a different config.xml file for a different<br>
login. I have a login for my mother on my laptop that points<br>
mythfrontend to the database and files on her MythTV box via WiFi, so<br>
she can use it as a remote frontend from the kitchen or out in the<br>
garden. That would not work without separate config.xml files.<br></blockquote><div><br>Having a default location in the current user's home directory certainly makes sense for an interactive application. However, IMHO it's a poor choice for a tool that is typically run scheduled.<br>
