[mythtv] DB Schema Suggestions

[Mike Benoit]

Is there a way to automatically remove commercials when recordings are
archived? If this is possible, an option to enable/disable this might be
useful.

How would the output filename be set? I assume a default name could be
automatically generated from the TV Guide data?


As far as what Isaac said, you don't have to modify the existing schema,
all you would need is to create a new table to store these settings.
That way changes could be made more easily as well.
