From a command prompt:

stephen at mypvr:~$ groups
stephen adm cdrom sudo dip video plugdev syslog mythtv sambashare
lpadmin wireshark vboxusers lirc

So my normal mythfrontend user is a member of the cdrom group.

stephen at mypvr:~$ sudo -u mythtv groups
[sudo] password for stephen:
mythtv dialout cdrom audio video lirc

And so is the mythtv user.

If, for example, the mythtv user is not a member of cdrom, then this
will fix it:

sudo usermod -a -G cdrom mythtv
