I use Plex to get my video to the Roku, since it will do the transcoding on the fly. That way I don't have to keep two copies of all the recordings. I just use mythlink to populate the folder Plex looks at...I found this format to work well:

I don't keep two copies of the same recording - I replace the .mpg with the .mp4 when I am done transcoding and update the database.</div>

I don't have the processing power on my machines to transcode on the fly. :(\</div>

Also, the nice thing about the mythrokuplayer is that you can delete from the roku and has the info from mythweb about the episode.</div>

I basically just have syndicated shows show up on my roku - reruns of family guy and the simpsons, with the commericals cut out - Wipeout, AFV, Ask this Old House, things like that. The syndicated shows have strict recording rules so they drop off after 10-12 episodes so if I watch them, great, if not, no biggie, they'll go away without taking up too much room.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
When I record an oddball show, if I want it to show up, I just tick off that rule, otherwise it will only show up on the frontends...</div>
