<p>This is probably a configuration problem, but on a recently installed setup of MythTV 0.23.1 under Debian 5.0 I can't get any recordings to start. Looking at the logs the problem seems to be that the dirname prefix for the Default group is not being added to the filename with the result that the file open fails, since every log I found with a web search shows the fully qualified name:<br>

<p>I've checked, several times, that the Default directory is set to '/data/mythtv/recordings/' so I would expect GetFileName to return '/data/mythtv/recordings/1014_20110207004250.mpg'. I've also checked that the permissions on that folder are corrent (in fact they're 0777!) but suspect that the file open is simply trying to open the file somewhere else.<br>
<br>What am I doing wrong? Or what have I forgotten to set?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Derek.<br></p>
