You'd have to write your own but it's not difficult.  I transcode and cut
the movies and TV shows and I look up the year of the movie using the
'airdate' field in the 'program' table to name the movies name.year.mp4.  I
know it's a movie because the programid starts with 'MV'

It could easily do the same to just create the symlinks
