<div dir="ltr">I've been redoing my mythtv setup from scratch.<br><br>However at some point I must have done the wrong thing because I have ended up with the 'configuration directory' being my desktop users .mythtv directory not my mythtv users .mythtv directory. When I run mythfrontend as the mythtv user it can't generate the metadata files because the permissions are wrong.<br><br>Where can I alter the configuration directory?<br><br>2013-12-23 08:38:49.476048 C Qt version: compile: 4.8.4, runtime: 4.8.4<br>2013-12-23 08:38:49.476053 N Enabled verbose msgs: general<br>2013-12-23 08:38:49.476065 N Setting Log Level to LOG_INFO<br>2013-12-23 08:38:49.476217 N Using runtime prefix = /usr/local<br>2013-12-23 08:38:49.476229 N Using configuration directory = /home/mark/.mythtv<br> </div>
<br>_______________________________________________ <br>Bonus points for answering my own question: "export HOME=/home/mythtv".<br><br>I will need to read through here more to understand better the detail of loading the frontend, with mythbuntu I never had to worry about it. <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Loading_Script" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Loading_Script</a><br><br>Interestingly it does not appear to have fixed my problem but does move troubleshooting on to the next thing. <style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style></div> </div></body>
