[mythtv-users] MythFrontend only runs as root

[Jelle Kalf]

Check your permissions on /dev/video* 

Check if you're a member of the group that belongs to these devices. If not
either change the grouppermisions on the /dev/video* to your users' group
you're planning to use or change the user to that specific group.
