Is there a way to get MythTV to do that automatically, or must I use
something like cron?<br>

How do I tell MythTV to change the name of the saved shows to something
more "human-readable"? The directory that I save my movies into are
shared via samba, and I like to watch my programs on a different box.
Right now, it is some numeric string, but I would like the files to be
named something with the title. How do I do that?<br>

<div>Try "mythrename.pl" in the contrib directory of the source
tarball.</div>

<div>You might be able to do it as a "user job", but I'm not sure how
you would pass the intended "new name" to it. A cron job might be more
flexible.</div>

<big>I added a user job and did a test recording using that user job
during post-processing. No dice. Here's what I used:<br>
<br>
/usr/local/bin/mythrename --format "%T, %S" (I copied the perl script
from contrib)<br>
<br>
It works if I run mythrename manually. <span class="moz-smiley-s2"><span>

<div>BTW - try and avoid top-posting, it makes it hard for anyone
reading this in the archives later on to follow the thread.</div>

<br>
<big>Oh! I prefer top-reading; it allows me to read the answer *and*
infer the question at the same time. Quicker for me, and that's why I
top-post. I'll bottom-post going forward if it makes things easier for
the readership going through the archives.<br>
