I've installed the mythexport plugin from the PPA repository on mythbuntu 9.04 and all was working well, until I needed to reboot my machine for unrelated reasons. When it came back up, the mythexport daemon was not running. I was able to start it from the terminal with "sudo service mythexport start". The startup script is in /etc/init.d and there is a link to it as S25mythexport in /etc/rc2.d. I can find no errors in a log file as to why it was not running.
Related to this, with the daemon not running, the export jobs I queued up from the frontend displayed no errors and the logs on the system status page shows they completed successfully. However, I had no transcoded recordings obviously since the daemon was not running. There should probably be some type of feedback when the daemon is not started in mythfrontend. I had to figure this out by ssh into the box and doing a pgrep.
