[mythtv-users] recordings will not play as not root user

I have a mythtv user setup. My recordings and live tv partition is /video. I
can watch live tv as the mythtv user. When I try to play a recording using
this user the frontend just goes back to the recording list and will not
play. If I load the frontend as the root user the recording plays fine.

I have also tried to do this through the xbmcscript on my xbox with the same
results. The file shows up and the preview shows up but it will not play.

The owner of the /video file is root. All other users have read and write
permission on this directory. I have tried chowning the video directory as
my mythtv user but as soon as a recording happens it goes back to being
owned as root.

I have fedora core 4 and used the instructions on Jarod's site to install
mythtv.
