That's very weird. Can you double check that user mythtv is running with is
indeed in the video group, i.e. running 'id mythtv'?
Both settings should be fine then.
The only thing left might be that the devices are not created at first, but
somehow only upon restarting the service, but that would be really odd.
Can you check the system logs (especially dmesg) for something odd during
boot-up?
Cheers
