Group is not needed. mythtv uses the video group. This is already in my pull

I assume it is in the video group so that it can access device nodes in /dev?
That is correct.
mythtv also creates and displays many video files shared with other
applications. I thought the "video" group was a way to permit that. Is
there a better way than putting them in the "video" group?
It might be a nice idea to give it its own primary group id, This
ensures that files it creates will not be automatically exposed to any
other random users that are members of the "video" group. You can add
it to as many supplementary groups as you need.
I need you to create a acct-group/uucp as it is not in the tree yet.
Please note that recent versions of udev/systemd use the "dialout"
group for serial devices instead of the old "uucp" group. You might
want to just switch over to that.
I agree and withdraw my request for "uucp" group. It is in out of date
mythtv documentation and the previous ebuild.
Should I check the use flags for flags enabling support for devices
needing "dialout" group and modify the installed mythtv user rather than
including group "dialout" in the "acct-user/mythtv" package?
