I'm confused. Aren't the permissons for the owner of dev/video0 rw. Isn't
mythtv the owner of /dev/video0?  Shouldn't mythtv have rw permissions?

 $ ls -l /dev/video0

 Mythtv did not lock the dir.


I wonder how it got locked -- perhaps udev did.

chmod 777 /video would have fixed the problem

I gave 777 a try, and surprisingly, it didn't work. Even more interesting,
the permissions for the dev reset to 600 after reboot. I believe this is
also a function of udev.

I think it's time for me to learn more about udev.
