I keep getting the "Unable to add recording directory:

Invalid Args." error. I even tried giving nextpvr, group and everyone full permission, and tried setting my currently working 60 minuits directory as a recording directory and still get "Unable to add recording directory:

Invalid Args."  So I'm completely stumped.

We don't do house calls to fix Linux issues but if you upload the zipped logs we might be able to give you a clue before you go to a Linux support forum.

I upload log zip file and it seems to work. But they don't show up in the post[attachment=undefined] Instead I get attachment=undefined.

Check /var/opt/nextpvr/logs and see if there are old files in there and try again until it works or use external file storage and send a link.

I was making a rookie mistake Confused I was putting the folder name on the link instead of where it belonged.
