In my setup Win7 Media Center reads the recordings through its "Library", to which I've added the published Samba folder from the MythTV box. I was surprised to find out that sym links are nicely resolved. I have a user job that creates a folder structure with sym links with nice names, and this what is exported through Samba. Works great, except for ch7.<br>

</div>I'm guessing here, but maybe Windows is using DLNA to read the files.<br>
As we all know, MythTV automatically sets itself up as a DLNA server (I<br>
know this because my Series 7 Samsung finds my BE without me having told<br>
it where to look) and the Windows Client (whatever he's using) is DLNA<br>
aware.<br>
<br>
Microsoft are part of the DLNA consortium, so i makes sense that they<br>
*might* support it.<br>
