The problem with the frontend not running as the mythtv user was that
mythtv did not have execute access to the video folder. When I
tried going into the video directory I was getting access denied until
I set the execute flag. I am not sure why this would be but it is
working now.<br>
<br>
I don't have the xbox working yet but it is probably just another permission problem with SMB.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/22/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">David W Davis</b> <<a href="mailto:davidw.davis@gmail.com">davidw.davis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
