Files (recordings) get saved on /mnt/recordings/mythtv, which is a local mounted filesystem (ext4). user:group of this dir is mythtv:mythtv and files created by the backend usually get permission 644. since my local user is also in the group ""mythtv"", everything works well (so even a 640 would be enough). but here's the first problem: sometimes a file is created with permissions 600. this happens to recordings, live-tv-files and even transcoded files (.nuv). playing them in mythfrontend is not possible and i have to chmod 644 them manually - which sucks having to do so every time. i searched for that problem by google a few times already and found only one post saying to restart mythtv-backend and new files will again have 644. this works, until the issue happens again... is there anything i can to to force permission 644 on newly created files? the file-permission should be constant at least, not changing from time to time.
