Since the recordings should be (unless you're using an analog capture <br>
card and NUV format encodes) in standard formats, all you need is to <br>
find the file, which is exactly what <a href="http://mythlink.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mythlink.pl</a> is for:<br>

Unless I've overlooked something, the script seems to presume that recordings are always TV shows and not movies. For example, mythlink creates poor filenames for recorded movies since it looks for season and episode information in the database, but for a movie it really needs the year of release. Movies (at least in Plex) need filenames such as Batman Begins (2005). However, for a TV show, I need to create a file like this: Blacklist-S08E10<br></div><div><br></div><div>Is there a way for mythlink to understand which recordings are movies vs TV shows, and create the correct filenames? If not, is there another script that does this? I'm not sure the myth database has a way to capture the year of release for a recorded movie, so maybe this is a non-starter.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
