<div>Hello all,</div>
<div>I need some help with my MythTV recordings. Right now what happens is that every new recording is recorded with a permission of 600, where *root* is the owner and *mythtv* is the group.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This happened after I was playing around with the security settings of /usr/local/media on my Windows box. This is what happened:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have my all my Mythtv contents under /usr/local/media (/usr/local/media/tv, /usr/local/media/videos, /usr/local/media/music....etc). I have this /usr/local/media shared as my M: drive on my Windows machine. The other day I was playing around with the "security" of this mapped drive on my windows box and I saw that there were two "users" there: Everyone and Root. However, none of the rights under either of those users were checked off. So I checked them off. However, doing this made me unable to watch any recordings, so I tried to uncheck it back. This time I saw that there were one more user added there (can't remember now, but something CREATED...). Also, when I tried to uncheck it, it asked me if I want sub-folders to inheret the permissions, etc. Anyway, nothing worked so I went to my mythtv and did a recursive chmod 755 as well as did chgrp mythtv /usr/local/media.
<br><br>But this only works for the recordings I have so far. Any new recording gets a permissions of 600, so it shows up as a recording, there is a pic in the preview pane, but when I click on it, it just sits there. My backend runs as root, frontend as mythtv. So every evening when I go home from work, I have to do chmod -r 755 /usr/local/media.
<br><br>I tried seeing what the 'umask' is, on my friend's advice. However, it shows 0022, and this is supposed to be right.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please help...</div>
