<div>Yes, I tried that but the error I see on the FE is referring to
'/root/.mythtv/mythvideo' which is not what I set in the path for the
posters on the FE?</div><div><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1">

<div>Since the directory on the BE that holds the movie posters is
hidden and in the directory '/root/.mythtv/mythvideo' how do I get the
front end to read this directory? Can I create a link that the front
end can read?
</div>

<div>Thanks for any help you guys can give me.</div>

I'm assuming here that the backend and the frontend are on seperate
machines, and that the backend and the frontend have at least one nfs
share both can write to. What does it say in the setting for the
movie poster location? Is location on the nfs share? Also,
what user does your mythtv run as? Does it run as root? My
understanding was that the frontend would be the one running the script
to retrieve posters, but I could be wrong. Does the directory
exists that the frontend has in the setting box?<br>
<br>
As a last resort, try creating a symlink in the place the frontend has
in the setting as follows, from the backend computer, assuming that the
directory /mnt/MythVideo/ is on the nfs share and can be seen by both.<br>
<br>
As root:<br>
ln -s <span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>/root/.mythtv/mythvideo /mnt/MythVideo/posters<br>
chmod a+x ~<br>
chmod a+x </span></span><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>~/.mythtv/<br>
</span></span><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>chmod a+rwx </span></span><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>~/.mythtv/</span></span><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>mythvideo<br>
chmod a+rwx </span></span><span class="e" id="q_10657307af4d687f_1"><span>/mnt/MythVideo/posters<br>
<br>
Not sure if nfs will allow you to follow the symlink like that.
If you can see in the directory and see the posters now, just set
/mnt/MythVideo/posters in the frontend and try it that way.<br>
