[mythtv-users] Music storage group failure in 0.28

[marcus hall]

OK, Gathered a bit more information...

This is the pattern from the backend log for each song that was attempted to
play:

I ran strace on the backend which didn't seem to be making any access attempts
to anything in the /var/lib/mythtv/music directory (where the Music storage
group is configured).  I *did* notice that during startup it seems to be
creating a .test file within each storage group and subsequently deleting
it.  However, it did *not* create this file in the Music, nor MusicArt
storage group.  Besides creating the storage group, is there anything
else that must be done to activate it?

Is there anything that describes the structure in the MusicArt storage group?
I see the frontend attempting to access files like
Icons/artist/xxx.{jpg,png,...}.  Is there a migration guide or anything?
Just shoot in the dark?

Everything else seems great, but right now the music is totally dead.
