Please help before i jump :)<br><br>I am able to see my movies listed when I click on the video icon from mythweb, however I can not for the life of get the an icon to show up. I've been trying with this movie "The Pursuit of Happyness". There is a .jpg and a .png in the /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo directory. Does it have to be a .jpg or .png? I also have a sub dir in this path with name of movie and files in their..owned by mythtv..no love<br>
<br><br>I have the sym links setup<br><br>I tried to chown the symlinks to mythtv:mythtv but I guess the need to be root? and I can see the listing of videos so I guess thats right..also imdb works<br><br>/var/www/mythweb/data<br>
<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2008-12-31 06:54 video -> /var/lib/mythtv/videos<br>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-01-02 19:12 video_covers -> /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo/<br><br>The actual dirs are owned by mythtv.<br>
<br>/var/lib/mythtv<br>drwxr-xr-x 3 mythtv mythtv 4096 2009-01-02 09:46 video_covers<br>drwxrwxr-x 21 mythtv mythtv 4096 2009-01-02 17:45 videos<br><br><br><br>I keep telling myself this isn't important and I should let it go but its making me crazy :)<br>
<br>Below is from my apache access log. So it seems to me this is some kind of permission issue? I have no entries in the myth frontend or backend logs regarding these images.<br><br>Have searched around and found some things to try but to no avail. Any help wwould be greatly appreciated.<br>
</blockquote></div><div><br>The video_covers directory needs to have read write permissions for the apache webserver. Mythweb operates has the permissions of the apache web server not mythtv. I just gave read/write priveledges to everybody for the video cover directory and that fixed it. Also changing the permissions on a symlink won't really do anything. The symlink will have the permissions of the target directory. You have to change the permissions of the actual directory not the symlink.<br>
<br>You say that /var/www/mythweb/data/video_covers links to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo but then you also say you have a directory for covers in /var/lib/mythtv/video_covers. You need to decide which folder you want your covers in. Then you need to make sure /var/www/mythweb/data/video_covers links to that directory. I would put it somewhere close to where the actual videos are. This makes it easier if you are going to move your data to another system or drive. You don't have to go looking around for directories spread all over your system. Then you need to go to the actual directory and make sure the web server has write permissions in that directory. The easiest way is to just give read/write to everyone.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the reply!<br><br>I changed the owner to be the user that runs apache(www-data) and the permissions on the video_covers dir to 777..probably to high but wanted to be sure this isn't the problem. <br>
<br>I changed the symlink to point to the original video_covers at the same level as the videos dir. <br><br>In the mythweb>settings>video>VideoArtworkDir: I have tried changing the path to /var/www/mythweb/data/video_covers instead of /var/lib/mythtv/video_covers<br>
</div><div><br>I rebooted just to make sure things are still ok after all the playing around. Everything seems to be fine but no change in the behavior of the video covers.<br><br>Sorry for being dense ...I'm sure I'm missing something stupid<br>
<br>Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Mike <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote">
