myth-backend conf starts mythbackend before it has any devices to use

[MarkG]

When upstart tries to start my MythTV backend after a reboot, MythTV tries to open the DVB devices, which don't yet exist, so it then just sits there doing nothing rather than recording TV shows. I have to manually restart it after booting to get it to work.

I modified the myth-backend.conf to wait for udevmonitor to stop, which I believe should guarantee that all devices are available, and now it seems to work fine.

Not sure whether this should be under upstart or mythtv.

the job belongs to mythtv-backend; reassigning.

In fact, the current job in oneiric has:

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo and started udev-finish)

So this is fixed in maverick and above:

mythtv (0.23.0+fixes25138-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * new upstream checkout (25138)

  [ Thomas Mashos ]
  * Added missingok for mirobridge log in logrotate (LP: #581283)
  * Backend now waits for udev to finish (LP: #556204)
  * Added patch to properly detect dbus during compile (LP: #574877)
