</div><p>Like you I am running .24 in Ubuntu which I installed as mythbuntu and it (I think) includes JAMU. I have a lot of my recordings set to transcode and hence those recordings get a new extension. I have a lot of orphaned snapshots everything I run mythlink. They all appear to be snapshots retrieved before or during transcoding. I assumed that was just a timing issue and nothing really fixable.</p>
<p>Is this what you are experiencing?<br>
I'm not sure about the permissions. Mine has mythtv as the owner and group. </p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
<p>Jeremy</p></font></span></blockquote><div>I also transcode my recordings but as part of my userjob for transcoding I rename the existing snapshot files to match the new filenames. I saw someone mention that myth does a better job of making snapshots of the mpeg2 files than it does with mp4 files and it eliminates orphans. I also move the original mpeg2 files to another location in case the transcode job had issues and then use a cronjob to expire those files after two days. I occasionally run find_orphans and very seldom find anything.</div>
