<div dir="ltr"><div class="Ih2E3d">I'm trying to use a new storage group that is located on a separate
server from my mythtv backend, and I'm having trouble. I'm trying to
record the Olympics in a folder separate from my normal recordings,
because of the large files created. I created a storage group in a
folder that I believe is writable from by anyone, but any recordings
I've set to record to this group fail to record. Myth says it recorded
the show, but when I try to watch it, it says the file cannot be
found. When i look in the folder where the files should be, there is
nothing there. I assume this has something to do with folder
permissions, or something like that, but I can't seem to find any
mention of it in the wiki. Any hints? <br><br></div>Is there any way to test if a storage group is active, and functioning; other than to see that a recording failed? If I VNC to my backend machine, I can copy a file from the desktop of that machine to the folder I want to use to store my recordings, so it seems that I can write to the folder. How else can I test to see that Myth can write to the folder? I've granted read/write permissions to all users, and the mythtv user, so I'm not sure what else I'm missing. </div>
</blockquote><div><br>So to answer my questions, apparently, I needed to restart the backend after I changed the folder permissions. It seems to be recording to my network share now. I hope this helps someone in the future. <br>
