[mythtv-users] PVR 150-MCE won't record

[Ryan Oleston]

Thanks for your reply and suggestion. I thought of this before and tried 
running mythbackend and mythfrontend as root, and I get the same thing. Also 
I am able to create a test file as user mythtv in the /var/video/recordings 
where the recordings are supposed to be stored. At this point I'm stumped. 
Do you guys think it could be a mysql db issue?
