Access issue

[ag100pct]

After some troubleshooting, NextPVR seems to be fine.
However it doesn't seem to be able to access my newly formatted data drive:    /mnt/Data
I was getting "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)".  After some troubleshooting it seems to be access to the new /mnt/Data disk.

I can read and write data to it but NextPVR doesn't seem to be able to.

I tried:
sudo chgrp video '/mnt/Data/RecordedTV'
chmod +775 '/mnt/Data/RecordedTV'
chmod g+s '/mnt/Data/RecordedTV'
setfacl -d -m g::rwX '/mnt/Data/RecordedTV'


No joy.    Obviously I missed something.  Something is sideways with permissions.

When I use the web gui, I can see the disk...and I go to the directory (RecordedTV) and select it, but then it bounces back to the disk.

Got me stumped.  

How did I mess this up?   Thanks....

If you want to reproduce the error and post your logs, we'll check in case it's writing temp files somewhere you're not expecting.

I looked...but not much experience with the log files....

This seems clear, and it is different from what you documented above.

This is the path it seems to be having an issue with. '/mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded TV/'

Yes, this is the issue (I simplified the path for my post).

Having said that, I can access (read, write) to /mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded TV/ .
I tried opening up permissions as much as possible on that directory...but it seems that NextPVR doesn't like any directories on /mnt/ST9_Data.

Also, when I try to change through the web gui ... the directories all see to be visible, but it will not let me set it to any of them.
When I try to select a directory the gui window returns back to top level.
I can play videos from that directory on VLC or other applications.  Just seems that NextPVR does not like any directories on that drive.

No doubt it's something silly that I did, but at this time I can't figure it out.
Thanks


------------------------- Edit------------------
Here's something new.  NextPVR doesn't like any directory that I set.  Log file attached.

In the real update did you also use the space? If so maybe from the command line try

ls -lt /mnt/ST9_Data

to make sure it is in the video group.

You can do a lot of things via the command line to test as if you were nextpvr.

Code:

sudo -u nextpvr mkdir /mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded\ TV/Test

Thank you.  When I tried to create a directory it
sudo -u nextpvr mkdir /mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded\ TV/NextPVR
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded TV/NextPVR’: Permission denied

so I checked permissions:
ls -ld /mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded\ TV/
drwxrwxrwx+ 16 sterling video 4096 Feb 28 10:32 '/mnt/ST9_Data/Recorded TV/'

user nextpvr is a member of video group

So...still not certain where to go from here.

Did you reboot since installing everything?

[ag100pct]

Yes, I have now rebooted twice.
Strange thing is that now no directories seem to work.
