However ssh can be<br>> blocked to root. It's a setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config<br>> "PermitRootLogin". You can set it to yes, no and some intermediate<br>> settings to for instance only allow connection through ssl keys and<br>> not through a password.<br>> It is also possible that your NAS exposes a fake root user with<br>> another UID then 0. In that case I'm out of my depth as I never really<br>> worked with a NAS.<br>> <br>> The simplest should be a:<br>> sudo chown -R mythtv <path><br>> or<br>> sudo chown -R mythtv.mythtv <path><br>> on the relevant trees on the NAS<br>> </div><div><br></div><div>When I try sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /media/media/TV_Shows/*</div><div>I get permission denied.
