<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><blockquote type="cite">Hello Everyone,<div><br></div><div>I recently redid my Myth box using Jared's Guide (<a href="http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/howto">www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/howto</a>), with slight modifications for Fedora Core 8, and MythTV 0.21 (current release, not SVN). There were a few hiccups but everything seems more or less ok now, with the exception of Mythweb's video module. </div><div><br></div><div>I had the same problem described below and in several other posts. I have multiple video directories. Here's how I got around it:</div><div><br></div><div>Mythweb creates non-functional symlinks in /var/www/html/mythweb/data. Remove these.</div><div><br></div><div>I created a new symlink to only one of my video directories, and changed the owner and group to mythtv:apache.</div><div><br></div><div>Then I ran into problems with the Video Covers directory. I had to change the default Video Covers directory to something different, with ownership mythtv:apache (as above), and then create a symlink to it, as above. </div><div><br></div><div>If you don't create these symlinks, the program will keep creating broken ones. </div><div><br></div><div>Now I can launch the video module from Mythweb and browse to ALL my video directories. </div><div><br></div><div>I still have a problem with downloading/viewing the videos. The urls ae referenced improperly. For example, if the video is located at /storage/videos/myvideo.avi, the link will be to /mythweb/data/video//storage/videos/myvideo.avi</div><div><br></div><div>The problem is in one of the php files, but I'm not enough of a coder to find it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this (besides waiting for 0.22)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Dan Buijs </div><div><div><br><br>On 28-Mar-08, at 5:42 PM, John Burns wrote:<br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --><p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span><span lang="en-us"><font size="2" face="Arial">I</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span><span lang="en-us"><font size="2" face="Arial">’</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span><span lang="en-us"><font size="2" face="Arial">m new to myth and mythweb and very novice when it comes to Linux but I</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span><span lang="en-us"><font size="2" face="Arial">’</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span><span lang="en-us"><font size="2" face="Arial">ve run into a problem that I think is bigger that just my shortcomings.
