Comment (by erik at hovland.org):
I took a look at the code. As a special case it probably isn't that hard
to code up. There is an if clause in the buildFileList which recurses if
it finds a dir. One could insert some code there to check the name of the
dir (if VIDEO_TS, then add to m_!VideoFiles, if not go down the directory
looking for video files. Then put in a VIDEO_TS entry in the extensions
table in dbcheck.cpp and see if it works out.
The one issue I haven't figured out is that all of the extension files use
the same playcommand. But dvd copies would require a different playcommand
by default. It could be changed manually once mythvideo is up, but that is
a little cumbersome.
The other thing I don't like is that the dvd copy search is hardcoded in
the videoscan class instead of having a little more general solution. I
wonder if coding it the easy way, if it would be accepted?
