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.

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?
