[mythtv-users] Permissions problem

[A Desai]

Hello all,
I need some help with my MythTV recordings. Right now what happens is that
every new recording is recorded with a permission of 600, where *root* is
the owner and *mythtv* is the group.

This happened after I was playing around with the security settings of
/usr/local/media on my Windows box. This is what happened:

I have my all my Mythtv contents under /usr/local/media
(/usr/local/media/tv, /usr/local/media/videos,
/usr/local/media/music....etc). I have this /usr/local/media shared as my M:
drive on my Windows machine. The other day I was playing around with the
"security" of this mapped drive on my windows box and I saw that there were
two "users" there: Everyone and Root. However, none of the rights under
either of those users were checked off. So I checked them off. However,
doing this made me unable to watch any recordings, so I tried to uncheck it
back. This time I saw that there were one more user added there (can't
remember now, but something CREATED...). Also, when I tried to uncheck it,
it asked me if I want sub-folders to inheret the permissions, etc. Anyway,
nothing worked so I went to my mythtv and did a recursive chmod 755 as well
as did chgrp mythtv /usr/local/media.

But this only works for the recordings I have so far. Any new recording gets
a permissions of 600, so it shows up as a recording, there is a pic in the
preview pane, but when I click on it, it just sits there. My backend runs as
root, frontend as mythtv. So every evening when I go home from work, I have
to do chmod -r 755 /usr/local/media.

I tried seeing what the 'umask' is, on my friend's advice. However, it shows
0022, and this is  supposed to be right.

Please help...


Thanks,
