Hey all,<br><br> Got a frontend/backend on one system, have a NAS that is serving as active storage on another system across a 100bt wired link.<br><br>Recordings go to my local /video directory and will then be moved across the wire (via myth_archive_job.pl) to one of the two nas recording areas (Video 1 or Video 2). Obviously this creates sim links in the local /video directory. MythTV is setup to "follow sim links" upon delete so all is good there.
<br><br>My question surrounds mythrename.pl. If I were to want to run this guy to re-name shows, will he work "through sim links" or would I have to run this guy on the NAS box and then some way re-name the created sim links?
<br><br>Maybe the better question is: considering the setup i've explained above, what's the best way to re-name the 1092_20070516120000.mpg files that I get to something slightly more meaningful so that I can access the show in the local /video directory by a name that is comprehensible (yet still play these things through myth). I really don't care what the file name on the NAS is, so long as MythTV can get rid of it upon delete. If the answer is to have a sim link in /video of a valid name pointing to a 1092.....file on the nas, i'm good with this so long as Myth can properly delete.
<br><br>I'm not married to using any particular scripts either, so if there's a better way to do all this please feel free to let me know.<br><br>Also as another side item (unrelated) anyone have a fast for loop command to take all the *.mpg files in /mnt/video1 and link them to /video? I've done this before but I forget the command I used.
