Thanks for the reply Warren. That was my first thought as
well. The directory from which mythvideo reads the file is
actually a mount to the backend system. To be absoultly sure, I
ran a "chmod -R 777" on the entire mounted directory and still had the
problem. I did forget to mention that I am able to watch videos
though mythvideo using the default mplayer command... I was getting
some audio/video sync issues with mplayer that aren't present with
xine. Xine runs fine when launching from the command
line... so, is there another layer between xine and mythtv?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br>
I had xine successfully working in MythVideo, but now it stopped
working. When I try to launch a movie through MythVideo I get the xine
splash screen and the following output in the mythfrontend log:<br>
<br>
sh: line 1: <path to avi file>: Permission denied<br>
<br>
I am using the command "xine -pfhq --no-splash %s" in the set up
section. If I use that same command from the command line, everything
works as expected. (
i.e. xine launches with the arguments and play the video) I've tried
numerous videos and all have the same result. I haven't made any
updates to the system since it was working and I know that the working
setup had survived a few reboots. I am using a PVR-350 for TV out, but
since I can see the xine splash screen, it doesn't look like that
figures into the equation and since I get the same behavior when
launching mythfront from the command line on my desktop. I was hoping
that someone had run into this problems before, or could give me some
pointers to troubleshoot it further. Also, how does mythvideo handle
external video players? It looks like from the error, that xine is
launched through mythvideo via some sort of shell script... is that
correct? Any input it appreciated.

Thanks,<br>

Sounds like the file is owned by whomever you are logged in as when you
are running from the command line but not the user that mythvideo is
running as and that myth user does not have read permission to the
file. Try "chmod 644 <path to .avi file>" without the quotes.
That should allow any user on the system to view the file.<br></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="sg">
