Fix the permission issues on the reported files using chown.
They should be owned by the same user running TVH, which is usually hts.

looks like owner is hts, group is video everywhere.
Where can I find the default permissions for tvheadend & subdirs?
thanx, dave

try
sudo chown hts:hts /home/hts/.hts/ -R

doesn't that just change the owner and group to "hts"?
as opposed to hts and video?
i think it may be the permissions set on the directories and files but I do not know what the defaults are.
(i.e. 755 or 700)

scratch the last reply.
There was an errant directory under muxes owned by root.
thanx for the help
