Cockpit Recorder iPhone Export File Permissions Issue

After recording videos with an Installous version of Cockpit Recorder, I decided I was ready to purchase the export option.

I backed up all of the videos to my local machine, deleted the app, installed the App Store version, and did the in-app export purchase.

After I moved the videos back the app recognized the videos, but crashed when attempting to export.

The videos are stored in /var/mobile/Applications/randomnumbersandletters(folder with CockpitRecorder.app)/Documents/Videos

The videos were all owned by root:mobile

Within that directory I did:

chown -R mobile:mobile .

After that I was able to export videos.  I’m still unable to record new videos.  I think it may be related to the GeneralData.plist file.  I’ll update this when I figure it out, or comment here with the answer and I’ll update the post.
