The difference is that recordings are created by mythtv, one would
expect it to be able to delete the recordings. Video files are placed
there by something else. If the delete option in the menu in mythvideo
didn't exist, would you even expect to be able to delete videos?

I see two possible resolutions. One could create a utility to adjust the
permissions when moving the file to the proper directory. As others have
pointed out though, a cron job works and seems to be of an out of the
way solution. I'd accept a way of doing it via cron job, but it's not
something that i'd put in by default. The script that runs via cron
would need to

A) Be activatable via MCC
B) Check mythvideo storage groups
C) Set permissions to 644

Title:
  Cannot delete videos from MythTV

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Whenever I copy a video file using Thunar into MythTV's videos folder,
  the default permissions eventually won't let me delete that file from
  MythTV Media -> Videos. The original permissions are:

  <desktop_user>:mythtv rw-r--r--

  and (IMHO) they should be defaulted to:

  <desktop_user>:mythtv rw-rw-r--
