I see your point. And, in the mythtv-setup log:
<br>
<br>
mythuifilebrowser.cpp:613 (updateLocalFileList) -
MythUIFileBrowser: current directory does not exist!
<br>
<br>
The Services API isn't as picky. Verify the host name known to
MythTV
<br>
(it takes into account any LocalHostName in config.xml) with this:
<br>
<br>
curl localhost:6544/Myth/GetHostName
<br>
<br>
This works, but don't use /tmp/blah!:
<br>
<br>
curl --data GroupName=Default --data DirName=/tmp/blah --data
HostName=yourHostName localhost:6544/Myth/AddStorageGroupDir
<br>
<br>
You can substitute RemoveStorageGroupDir for AddStorageGroupDir if
a typo is made.

Good choice (and, no I didn't write it.)
<br>
<br>
This API displays existing Storage Group entries. You can look at
it in a browser with
<br>
<br>
yourBackend:6544/Myth/GetStorageGroupDirs
<br>
<br>
Or, from the command line (you likely need to install the
libxml2-utils package.)
<br>
Note the trailing dash:
<br>
<br>
curl --silent localhost:6544/Myth/GetStorageGroupDirs | xmllint
--format -
<br>
<br>
Here's my 'Default' SG as an example. Note that the HostName is
'mc0', which is my main backend:
<br>
<br>
curl --silent
localhost:6544/Myth/GetStorageGroupDirs?GroupName=Default |
xmllint --format -
<br>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<p>Okay, now that I have my head out of my butt, I see what you are
saying. I used the following command on my Master Backend:</p>
<p>curl --data GroupName=Default --data
DirName=/srv/mythtv/recordings --data HostName=mythbuntu
localhost:6544/Myth/AddStorageGroupDir</p>
<p>Now my Master backend Storage Groups look like this:</p>

Should I have changed the HostName from mythbuntu to

guessing I did it right?</span></div>
