Hello all,
Thanks to those who helped with my udev problem!
I've got another small problem relating with transferring videos from
old hardware to new one. Essentially, I just dumped everything from
the old database, and put everything back in the new database.
Everything works, I can see a list of previous recordings, I can see
image previews, everything. But when I try to start a recording, I
just get a black screen and the frontend crashes. It strongly looks
like the backend can't access the recording - but it's strange as I
can view static images from the video. Here's a snippet of the
output from the backend:

Permissions seems OK to me unless I'm mistaken? I'm sure it's OK as
the old recordings and the new ones both has exactly the same
permissions.

I've also tried myth.rebuilddatabase.pl but to no avail.
Thanks for your help in advance.
