[mythtv-users] rec->GetFileName doesn't return complete filename.

[Derek Dongray]

This is probably a configuration problem, but on a recently installed setup
of MythTV 0.23.1 under Debian 5.0 I can't get any recordings to start.
Looking at the logs the problem seems to be that the dirname prefix for the
Default group is not being added to the filename with the result that the
file open fails, since every log I found with a web search shows the fully
qualified name:

2011-02-07 00:42:25.046 Started recording: The IT Crowd: channel 1014 on
cardid 1, sourceid 1
2011-02-07 00:42:27.103 TVRec(1): rec->GetFileName():
'1014_20110207004250.mpg'
2011-02-07 00:42:27.273 TFW, Error: Opening file '1014_20110207004250.mpg'.
                        eno: Permission denied (13)
2011-02-07 00:42:27.308 TVRec(1) Error: RingBuffer '1014_20110207004250.mpg'
not open...
2011-02-07 00:42:27.352 TVRec(1): Changing from RecordingOnly to None
2011-02-07 00:42:27.423 Finished recording The IT Crowd: channel 1014

I've checked, several times, that the Default directory is set to
'/data/mythtv/recordings/' so I would expect GetFileName to return
'/data/mythtv/recordings/1014_20110207004250.mpg'. I've also checked that
the permissions on that folder are corrent (in fact they're 0777!) but
suspect that the file open is simply trying to open the file somewhere else.

What am I doing wrong? Or what have I forgotten to set?
