My end goal is to get a couple of daily recordings
converted to a roku<br>
compatible format with friendly names for my wife to
watch on the roku<br>
in our bedroom.<br>

Definitely aware of mythlink as I use it to to interface with
airvideo. It was a great find at the time and something my
kids use every night. to stream videos to the iPAD.<br>
<br>
Maybe its just my understanding of how the user job operates
and stores information but how do I tell mythlink to create
links to those newly converted .m4v files? I didn't see a way
to specify the directory the files were in. I believe it gets
that info directly from the DB and from what I can tell only
did the original file. I run mythlink every 30 minutes to
update recording information and I cant find a link to the
newly created .m4v file.<br>
<br>

<div>I think we all missed the "convert" part of your original
post. What are you doing to create the .m4v files? Since
these are not referenced by mythlink I assume they also do not
show up in Myth Frontend under Watch Recordings. Is that
correct?</div>

I have a user job that references my transcode script. I'm passing
the 2 variables to the script (channel id and start time) which can
then autobuild the file name since it also knows the directory my
recordings are all stored in.<br>
my transcoding is working great and I end up with the transcoded
file in my /tmp/ directory with the typical mythtv name
1006_blahblahblah.m4v. What I want and am trying to do is to
move/rename the .m4v file and create a "family friendly" name in my
directory store.<br>
<br>
my very ugly rename/move command that is part of the transcode
script is below:<br>
<br>
mysql -uroot -ppasswordremoved mythconverg -B --exec "select
basename,title,subtitle from recorded;" | grep
${CHANID}_${STARTTIME} | sed 's/.mpg//'| sed 's/\t/ /g' | while
read b NAME ;do mv {$TMPDIR}/${CHANID}_${STARTTIME}.m4v <i
class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>roku<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>"$NAME".m4v;done
<br>
<br>
I woke up this morning to find my file transcoded but still sitting
in the /tmp directory so something isn't working with my command
above, althought I can run it manually and it works just fine
(assuming I set the variables of course) .<br>
<br>
Roku doesn't natively support uPNP. Still looking at finding a
solution for that as it may be easier to just point to mythtv as its
already a uPNP server. <br>
<br>
I'm off to work now but will try to check in later. Im officially
obsessed with getting this working now...<br>
