With a (Slightly hacked) older version of Mythlink.pl, I created a simp[le .sh file (mythlink.sh) that gets called at 05 and 35 by Cron, and executes the following: /etc/mythtv/mythlink.pl --dest="/myth/pretty/By Date" --format="%Y%m%d (%d-%m-%Y)/%H%i%s - %T - %S" /etc/mythtv/mythlink.pl --dest="/myth/pretty/By Title" --format="%T/%Y%m%d%H%i%s - %T - %S" /etc/mythtv/mythlink.pl --dest="/myth/pretty/By Category" --format="%C/%Y%m%d%H%i%s - %T - %S" That gets me 3 directories to view my recordings in, one sorted into seperate "By Date" folders, one into "By Title" folders, and one into "By Category" folders. Example: # cd /myth/pretty/By\ Title/ # ls -l drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Battlestar Galactica drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Bewitched drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 CSI- Crime Scene Investigation drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Cold Case drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Lethal Weapon drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Medium drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 21:35 Miracle on 34th Street # cd Battlestar\ Galactica/ # ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Dec 29 21:35 20050926120000 - Battlestar Galactica - The Living Legend.mpg -> /myth/tv/1041_20050926120000.mpg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Dec 29 21:35 20050927220000 - Battlestar Galactica - The Living Legend.mpg -> /myth/tv/1041_20050927220000.mpg And so on. And I'm pretty sure it'd be very easy to make more commands to sort any way you please. -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
