What is this trying to tell me? Are there file permissions I need to set? I just have the one storage directory set, going to my USB drive using the automatic /media/pi/USB/default which is where I set the directory to.

Yes, the threaded file writer can't open a directory in order to get to the 'default' directory
and create the file.:

Code: Select all

... TFW(/media/pi/USB/default/10901_20191008220155.ts:-1): Opening file '/media/pi/USB/
eno: Permission denied (13)

I'd try ls -ld /media/pi/USB . It must have read/search permission for the user running the backend.
Something like:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod ugo+rx /media/pi/USB

The directory named 'default' under USB must have read/write/search permissions and is typically user/group mythtv/mythtv.
Again, assuming the backend is running as that user/group.

Code: Select all

sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /media/pi/USB/default
sudo chmod ug=rwx,o=rx /media/pi/USB/default
