Earlier I aired an idea of a tree view for mythtv to keep things
organized. I have now actually done something about it, except in a
somewhat different manner.
Noting that mplayer kan play the .nuv files directly given a patch, I
set out to make an archival system using mythvideo and some menu files.
This is the (current) result.
I have created a short script that you give a .nuv file and it will
rename it to it's title followed by [callsign] and (date time). See this
sample run (listing only. A real run give no visible output):

When you run it for real, the entry in 'recorded' is deleted and you
move the files wherever you want after that. I have chosen a different
hard disk partition for now but for some programs a burning to CD-ROM
will likely follow. I have edited the mainmenu.xml file to call
videomenu.xml in stead of EXEC'ing mythvideo directly (probably default
by now anyway).
I have included som xml menu files to illustrate what I do, hoping that
some other people might want to use it.
Much the same has been done with DVD playback, giving a choice of
MPlayer or ogle. MPplayer in region 2 seems to have a lot of special
cases so I have made special menus for those (setup for danish subtitles
with english text). Probably not super useful for most of you but the
idea of it might work for other people too...
Attached are the menus and the script that did the above.
