[mythtv-users] Shell Script for Creating Friendly Show Names

[Joel Melohn]

Try this script. You will need to edit the directory locations.

It is setup for using the video files under Windows. If you want to use it
under linux and want to have the spaces replaced by underscore, there are
two lines that you can uncomment to accomplish this.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Shell Script for Creating Friendly Show Names

I have downloaded Rob Snow's perl script from the contrib directory of 
CVS.  I am able to use the script to convert the "non-friendly" 
filenames to "friendly" filenames and am not trying to create a Bash 
script to make links from them.

In his readme, he references a small Bash script to use mythencode.  I 
am trying to take that and modify it to make friendly links using 
mythname.pl.  I have:

----
#!/bin/sh
     for i in `find /home/media/tv_recordings/*.nuv -mtime +1`; do
         ./mythname.pl --host localhost -s $i
     done
---

This outputs the shown names.  Now I need to input them to the ln 
command.  I've tried various pipes and redirects in combination with the 
ln command but can never quite get it right.  (No experience in Bash 
scripting).  How can I do this?  Thanks.
