Having just gone through the same upgrade (ATrpms to RPMFusion), note
that the RPMfusion RPMs have the mythbackend process run as the 'mythtv'
user, so make sure your 'mythtv' user has read/write access to your
video storage volumes and to your video capture devices.  Either that,
or you can modify /usr/lib/systemd/system/mythbackend.service and change
"User=mythtv" to "User=root".
