Setting up a new RPi 4 DVR server and when I try to create the /media/DVR directory on the sever settings page I get the following:
Error: unable to create dvr directory: mkdir /media/DVR: permission denied
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

What kind of drive did you flash the OS image onto?
Samsung 870 EVO SSD 1tb
I would suggest flashing it again
That fixed it. And now it shows 922.80 GB available and before it only showed 1.8 GB available. Not sure what happened the first time I flashed it but the second time fixed the issue.
Thanks
I'm having same error on an external WD elements 10TB. image procedure was wipe all partitions, use pi imager, flash image, hook to Pi. Boots, I get into DVR ui, and only a /media folder exists. I attemtp to create a DVR folder and I get:
unable to create dvr directory: mkdir /media/DVR: permission denied
Redid the same process over again and got the same result, not sure where to go from here. Enabling samba allows me to browse to the /media directory but I can't write/create anything in it via that way either.
Third time a charm .. only thing I did different this time was I logged into my channels account immediately on first boot. The previous two times I bypassed that screen as I was planning on doing a restore - I am not sure if some sort of additional setup happens by completing the login or not but in any event seems to be working now.
I am having this issue at the moment. Using a Samsung T7 Shield 1TB SSD. I have flashed it many times (8+) to no avail. I have also tried formatting the drive as exFat then flashing it using the Pi Imager.
Any ideas?
Try this image:

Bingo! That imaged worked!
Thanks, tmm1! You guys rock!
