[vbat99]

with the changes, I can't seem to get the log file to write.
rc.local has

Code:

and is owned by root

Changing the start in rc.local to

Code:

sleep 20 && su pi -c '/home/pi/texturecache.py @logfile=/home/pi/t6.txt @debug=yes @xbmc.host=localhost @bin.ceccontrol=/home/pi/mytv.sh rbphdmi 300'

ie: adding su pi -c and wrapping the command in ' still has the same lines, but owner is now pi

Thoughts?
