IIRC the upstart problem has been fixed since 0.5.3 was released; could you try
replacing your init/upstart file with the version in svn trunk
(http://mythdroid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mdd/init/upstart), reinstalling mdd
and letting us know if the issue goes away please?

As requested replaced the upstart file so using only 'respawn'. No change,
mdd.pl still doesn't return.
Then reinstalled from trunk (version 640). /etc/init/mdd.conf remained the
same. Problem too.
Only way to start mdd is via $sudo mdd.pl -b

Hmm. If upstart thinks that there are mdd processes running do you need to
address that? I've never experienced 'start mdd' not returning and I'm not sure
what to suggest, except that you shouldn't run mdd as root!
Does upstart produce logs? Perhaps turn mdd debugging on in /etc/mdd.conf and
see if mdd logs anything useful (to /tmp/mdd.log by default)? Maybe an strace
of 'start mdd' might help?

I don't know if it helps, but if I start mdd.pl via the sysvinit script it does
return.
Also, if I start it via sudo $nohup mdd.pl it returns and I can end the remote
shell.
I'm working with an old htc-hero phone, which seems to be too slow anyway, vlc
gives lots of missed frame errors and I almost never get to the point that I
actually get sound/picture. I'm getting an atrix soon, that ought to work
better.
Top says vlc is using 100% of it's slice of cpu time. System cpu use is 0.82
(dual core sandy bridge 2600MHz), so probably something not right there either.
I will report back when I have proper hardware to test with.

Hi there,
Just reporting here that I have exactly the same issue on mythbuntu lts 10.04
service mdd start does not return. Tried changing the upstart conf in
/etc/init, to contain fork instead of daemon and remove respawn, but it does
not help. Do I have to do anything after changing that file before upstart
actually uses it?
Furthermore I see that it is capable of reencoding SD video on the highest
bitrate , so I can play it on my tab. However there is NO SOUND. HD recordings
can not be reencoded real time, so 75% of my material can't be streamed to the
TAB.
It's an athlon 5050E dual core.

Ok, so the problem is likely caused by the fact that with debug turned off, mdd
will daemonise (so 'expect fork' would be correct). With debug turned on, mdd
doesn't fork and so no expect stanza would be correct. I usually have debug
turned on via the config file and so we've been seeing different things. I'll
fix by making mdd fork in both cases.
