I'm finding that I must run my machine the same way. Which is odd because I just rechecked Jarod's HOWTO for FC4 and mythtv-set, mythtvbackend and mythfillmydatabase are to be run as $ -- the user mythtv.<br><br>I just can't believe that this is not a more readily acknowleged situation.
<br><br>Perhaps it is a driver issue. What kind of capture card are you using?<br><br>When you say that you are accessing the files from a windows machine. How are you doing that? via Samba, MySql?<br><br>I don't mean to bombard you with questions. 'Tis a noobs life for me.
