Why does myth create a bunch of files (on the backend only) in various<br>
directories<br>
<br>
for example:<br>
/usr/local/bin<br>
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/filters<br>
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins<br>
<br>
Yesterday I found over 100 of these files in these directories<br>
<br>
Any ideas???<br>

You chose to install in /usr/local. run config with --prefix=/usr/ if<br>
that's where you want the files to go instead of /usr/local/<br>

I think you are missing the point. I know why it installed where it did...<div class="im"><br>
what do the files that start with ST do and why aren't they self-cleaned?<br>
</div></blockquote>

Actually, you're missing a /couple/ of points... Besides the "please don't top-post on this list" point, you're also missing the point of all these wild guesses... That unless you provide at least a few actual filenames (not just the first two letters of the filenames) /we/ can only guess...<br>
<br>
However, one thing is clear--it's not Myth writing those files (as the user running Myth shouldn't even have write permission on the directories you've mentioned).<br>

Mike</blockquote><div><br>Mike --<br><br>I am running .22, but I have seen these files on and off for the last year (so it was there for .21).. I think it may be tied to nuvexport, but am unsure... Yesterday, I did a cleanup when I did a trunk update and removed all of them. I have /usr/local as gloabally writeable (as I am the only user on the box). All I run is Firefox, mythtv (and associated plugins) and mplayer on this box. As you know nothing about it, I will drop the topic...<br>
