I found earlier that I needed to add a ‘/‘ between the path and the file name to avoid the error below.  I tried setting the path with a leading ‘/‘ to avoid the issue, but that didn’t work as the ‘/‘ was stripped off earlier.  

    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings44303_20200811220000.mp4’


I tweaked the open statement to put in +’/‘ immediately after the sg.dirname to add the ‘/‘  separator and it works great!

If you can add the directory separator into the code somewhere, all will be good!

Thanks!
