Maybe adjust the script a bit more and call it
mythrenamenomvpmccompat.pl, I have a script that used mplayer that
can identify the height, width, video and audio codec, and from
that minor adjustments to the mythrename.pl script should produce
a script that will rename non-mvpmc compatible formats to add an
avi resulting in the behavior that we want.
Right now I need to figure out exactly what constraints can
be played by mvpmc and put it into the ismvpmccompat script and
either return a 0 or a 1 based of if mvpmc can play it.
This would run on the host machine probably in a cron job, and
basically rename everything that mvpmc cannot natively play to
.avi so vlc would take it when using mvpmc/mythtv across nfs.
