Re: setup
OK really having to show my ignorance here. I opened a terminal then typed in /var/lib/mythtv/mythbackend.log and what came back was bash: /var/lib/mythtv/mythbackend.log: No such file or directory
I assume that is bad. I am also lost as to how to send you the log file contents if I ever find one.

Re: setup
It's a file, so cat /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log would work.
You may be able to see the error yourself.
But, in case it's huge, try this: stop the backend, for example sudo systemctl stop mythtv-backend
(that's for recent Ubuntu/Mythbuntu distributions, yours may use a different command.
Once stopped, do this to create a fresh log: sudo mythbackend -u mythtv --logpath /tmp
after the messages settle (figure one minute or less) type control-c.
Then attach file file in /tmp (the name will be obvious) here.

gcccok12, you need to reply by selecting 'Full Editor & Preview, type your response and then select 'Attachments' and 'Add File'.
Re: setup
You'll need to mention the distribution you're running, I've commented on
Ubuntu/Mythbuntu above, but we really need to be sure. For example, I'm
running on Ubuntu 17.10 and mythbackend --version tells me that I'm on
version 30-Pre.
If you did find and run mythtv-setup.real, you can use the same logging options,
so: mythtv-setup.real --logpath /tmp would put a file in /tmp that you can attach.
Same with most myth* programs.
