I'm still not understanding the permissions portion. Ive never had an issue with that. I added xbmc to the mythtv group. The permissions for mythtv recordings are set by mythtv. I never had an issue with access to the files.
How did you set up mythtv? Mine was set up through the default Ubuntu package manager.
What I was talking about was a mythicalSetup problem. When mythicalSetup creates new folders it creates them as root and then chowns them to the sudo user. It does not change the group of the folder or file.
I installed via the ubuntu package manager. In my setup (not sure whether this is unique) new folders and files created by the script have the following privelidges 'rwx r-- r--' (the owner being mythtv). Because of that my user account couldn't rename or delete recording files. I am not sure if it only happened with files placed in folders created by the script. I have since chmod'd all of the relevant files & directories.
Maybe it's just my setup - I'll live with it for the mean time.
