<div>Thank you, I am logging in as the user that runs mythfrontend and I can successfully play the roms from a terminal console. The permissions are all correctly set:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> ls -la roms1</div>

<div>There should not be any DB corruption since I started my entire database from scratch with my re-install. Unless it somehow got corrupted by attempting a scan early-on. I'm hoping that "Clear Game Data" will fix whatever might occur if I happen to be killing the frontend in the middle of a scan, even though it appears to be frozen. I think I'm going to try updating my SVN version to latest trunk and see if that helps, if it doesn't I'll try going backwards.</div>

<div>Those of you who have mythgame "scan for roms" working and use SVN trunk: what revision are you using?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
