Have a look at your /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules file and any  
related stuff.

You can make the video device accessible by using groups ("video" is  
a good one) or adjust the permissions for "other" users. Whatever  
user is running myth should be a member of the appropriate groups.

I suppose there would actually have to *be* a version 0.21 in order  
for it to show up in portage, there isn't AFAIK :-)

You could grab the latest svn version and make your own ebuild I guess.

I was going off the following

[quote]Storage Groups 
 New in MythTV 0.21 

Storage Groups are lists of directories that are used to hold MythTV
recording files. By default, there is only one Storage Group, called
"Default".

Its about half way down.
I took that to mean there was a .21

Could you be more specific on the udev rules. My user is a member of
video but udev makes it owned by root group root.
thanks
