[mythtv-users] Announcement: Looking for Alpha testers for a generic Lossless cut solution

[Doug Vaughan]

Ian,
     I am not using Mythbuntu but I do run my backend under a"mythtv" 
user account. Here are the permissions my configuration file and that 
directory has. Use this only for access rights comparison only:
 > sudo -umythtv ls -ls ~/.mythtv/lossless_cut.cfg
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 doug doug 7886 Oct 20 14:27 
/home/doug/.mythtv/lossless_cut.cfg
 > sudo -umythtv ls -ls ~/.mythtv
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 doug doug 27 Apr 12  2012 /home/doug/.mythtv -> 
/media/virtual/home/.mythtv

Although I will add a trap for that abort,permissions for a "~/.mythtv" 
directory must be set so that the script can write the configuration 
file. Maybe allowing R/W for all users to the "/home/mythtv/.mythtv" 
will resolve the issue.

The suggestion in the wiki for running the --test step using a leading 
"sudo -umythtv" was given to me by a user who resolved their own issues 
with that command. I have not tested it myself.

Thanks for bring this abort to my attention and I hope these suggestions 
help.

Doug
