Thanks for your reply and suggestion. I thought of this before
and tried running mythbackend and mythfrontend as root, and I get the
same thing. Also I am able to create a test file as user mythtv
in the /var/video/recordings where the recordings are supposed to be
stored. At this point I'm stumped. Do you guys think it
could be a mysql db issue? <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/25/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jason Werpy</b> <<a href="mailto:jwwerpy@gmail.com">jwwerpy@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</a><br>><br>><br>><br><br>I'm just guessing here, but does the user who starts your backend<br>process have write permissions to the direcotry where your recordings<br>go? I had some really wierd things happen when the permissions
<br>weren't right. My problems were actually with live tv which can be<br>setup to a different location from the recordings, it sounds a lot<br>like what you are seeing.<br>_______________________________________________
