[Bug 584701] Re: Cannot delete videos from MythTV

 

I had some extra time today and have started working on this. I have a rough python script that should work. Features include
*) Runs 24x7 (not cron)
*) Uses inotify to trigger events
*) Events include setting permissions and group ownership, adding file to DB, and searching for metadata

This will only work with storage groups that are located on the same
machine and should run on all backends. It will not work with network
mounted file systems (limitation of inotify)

I still need to get this setup as a service. As it loads storage group
directories on startup, it should depend on the mythtv-backend service
running (for other reasons as well)

Title:
  Cannot delete videos from MythTV

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  In Progress

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--

  Regards
