[mythtv-users] User Job to rip subtitles from each program

[David Crawford]

Hi,

I managed to get the script to work as a userjob in the end (whay hey!)

only thing is the file names system of the recordings. I use an app to
search through the subtitles and its designed to work with files with a
particular format (basicially the one used in DVBVIewer).

Is there a way that I can maybe add a script that can change the filenames
of the ripped subtitle files to read like:
%date%-%time%-%channel%-%programme% ?
