       MythBackend  is  the primary server application for MythTV. It is used for recording and remote streaming
       access of media. Only one instance of this application is allowed to run on one host at a time,  and  one
       must be configured to operate as a master, performing additional scheduler and housekeeper tasks.

       Misc. Options:

       -d, --daemon
              Fork application into background after startup.

       --dvbv3
              Use legacy DVBv3 API.

       --noupnp
              Disable use of UPnP.

       -O, --override-setting
              Override a single setting defined by a key=value pair.

       --override-settings-file
              Define a file of key=value pairs to be loaded for setting overrides.

       -p, --pidfile
              Write PID of application to filename.

       --printexpire
              Print upcoming list of recordings to be expired.

       --printsched
              Print upcoming list of scheduled recordings.

       --setloglevel
              Change logging level of the existing master backend.

       --setverbose
              Change debug mask of the existing master backend.

       -h, --help, --usage
              Display this help printout, or give detailed information of selected option.

       --version
              Display version information.

       --testsched
              do some scheduler testing.

       --user Drop permissions to username after starting.

       --webonly
              Start in web-server-only mode.

       Logging Options:

       --loglevel
              Set  the logging level.  All log messages at lower levels will be discarded.  In descending order:
              emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug defaults to info

       --logpath
              Writes logging messages to a  file  in  the  directory  logpath  with  filenames  in  the  format:
              applicationName.date.pid.log.  This is typically used in combination with --daemon, and if used in
              combination with --pidfile, this can be used with log rotators,  using  the  HUP  call  to  inform
              MythTV to reload the file

       -q, --quiet
              Don't log to the console (-q).  Don't log anywhere (-q -q)

       --syslog
              Set the syslog logging facility.  Set to "none" to disable, defaults to none.

       --systemd-journal
              Use systemd-journal instead of syslog.

       -v, --verbose
              Specify log filtering. Use '-v help' for level info.
