Yeah, I need to copy it off. I have my 3 tuners recording 24x7 and I'm archiving shows. Copying the shows off I can do automated (and am from the windows side) but I have to go through MythWeb and delete the shows after that. If I forget to delete them daily then MythTV starts flagging them as not watched when it autopurges and then starts recording duplicates which I don't want.<div>
<br></div><div>So I either need to change the default behavior of MythTV so that when it autopurges it marks the show as never record again, or I need to figure out a way to automatically delete shows off the MythTV with a script every 24 hours or so...</div>

</div></div>Yes, mythexport exists and works in 0.26. But I have never used it<br>
from the command line so I have no idea if you can use it in a script.<br>
It will also create a .sql file in the place you export the .mpg file<br>
to.<br>
<br>
Do you even need to move the .mpg file to the windows box? That will<br>
take quite a while, so you might be better off just pointing your<br>
video player program on the Windows box at the file where it is stored<br>
on the MythTV box and playing it directly from there. So you could<br>
just run mythlink on the MythTV box, then browse the directory it<br>
creates from your Windows video player across your local network.<br>
<br>
Note: When I went to the mythlink page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl</a><br>
<br>
I noticed it does not list 0.26 as a supported version, so you might<br>
need to do some fixes to get it to work.<br>
