Where should mpg's be? This is the directory I set up when installing MythTV. There are no access problems -- /var/lib/mythtv is wide open.<br><br>The problem has righted itself at this point for reasons that are as obscure to me as the original problem. Only things that I have done in the mean time is power cycle the machine and installed some package updates with no apparent connection to MythTV.
