The difference is that recordings are created by mythtv, one would expect it to be able to delete the recordings. Video files are placed there by something else. If the delete option in the menu in mythvideo didn't exist, would you even expect to be able to delete videos?
I see two possible resolutions. One could create a utility to adjust the permissions when moving the file to the proper directory. As others have pointed out though, a cron job works and seems to be of an out of the way solution. I'd accept a way of doing it via cron job, but it's not something that i'd put in by default. The script that runs via cron would need to A) Be activatable via MCC B) Check mythvideo storage groups C) Set permissions to 644 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584701 Title: Cannot delete videos from MythTV Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Won't Fix 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.
