I took another quick look at it just then, I figure kick it while it's
down ;-) Before I go on I'd just like to say I like to dabble a little
in C++, I am definatley not a web, but what they hey I'll have a go... I
looked at the recorded_programs.php files and saw that the one in the
themes dir looked to me like it was checking for java script when a
delete url came in, if it was enabled it would popup a confirm dialog,
if not it just went ahead and deleted it, fair enough, I think I just
figured out where all my tv shows went... :-(
Anyway, I hacked up a couple of recorded_programs.safe.php by removing
the code that delt with deletes. Then a mate of mine, once he had
stopped laughing, which took quite some time btw, send me some info on
wget's -R option, the two combined with this script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs
wget -r -R .nuv,.php http://vector/mythtv/recorded_programs.safe.php
wget http://vector/mythtv/recorded_programs.safe.php -O
vector/mythtv/recorded_programs.php
cat /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cgi-responses/mythtv-recorded_programs.html
give me exactly what I'm looking for, I am now a happy chap though down
500GB of "quality" tv...

I hear you ;-) which brings me to a rather puzzling thing, actually it's
rather amusing really, it seems when I wget the files from mythtv to the
webserver I'm obviously not getting all the php code and there is all
this stuff about beers displayed.

made me grin... speaking of beers, it's time for a fresh one, I was
hoping clicking on "empty beers" would bring me a new one, no joy, I
guess I have to get it myself...
Cheers!
