are ability to filter out what is "worth watching". My thought was
therefore to move all recorded movies to Videos. This would also provide
more info to review the unwatched movies.

Currently running .24+fixes and have other jobs that work just fine. All
I did was: 1) Placed the file in /usr/bin providing needed permissions
2) Created a job /usr/bin/mythvidexport.py %JOBID% The only thing that
happens is the job is added to the job queue… and then the job just sits
there. Am I missing something?

Arg! Yes, that
could be it (need to enable the job). 

I set it up in mythweb and only
justed checked if everything look right in the BE and may have forgotten
to check the enable. 

So, you support the use of mythvidexport.py?


cheers
