Thanks to everyone who answered -- I experimented with mythrename (and was frightened for a minute that the recordings would no longer appear in the mythtv list of recordings. But it was much more clever than I thought! ;-) Since my desire is just occasionally to move specific shows/episodes to long-term storage on a NAS drive, then I think this will work as it is. (I'll just run mythrename occasionally then move files to new location then delete them one by one in the mythtv interface.)
<br><br>Is it possible to run a user job on a recording from the recording list? I.e. select a recording, press right and have it in the list along with 'delete'. (I'm not in front of my myth box!) If so then setting up a job to do this would be a good idea, I suppose.
