mythfrontend script incorrectly quotes MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS

[Doug]

Hi,
While trying to create logs to help with a mythtv issue:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5261

I found that commenting in MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS fails because
of the quotes in the invocation of mythfrontend.real. The problem line
in /usr/bin/mythfrontend is:

                /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real "$@"

When $@ is made up of multiple arguments, for example when uncommenting
the line in /etc/mythtv/session-settings, the above cause mythfrontend.real to
treat it all as a single argument with quoted space:

MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS="--verbose all,nodatabase"

mythfrontend.real will then exit with an error and output the correct usage.

The solution is to change the line to:

                /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real $@

Cheers,

Doug

THis bug is the same as #212604. Recently I have found that the above fix does not work with the latest backport update. Instead the patch in #212604 must be used - it uncomments MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS.
