[mythtv-users] updated mythlink.sh

[Joel Melohn]

One thing that I have encounterd with mythlink.sh is that if you have a set
of episodes of the same program that do not have a subtitle, you end up with
a subdirectory containing 1.nuv, 2.nuv, 3.nuv, etc. However, the files are
not numbered in chronological order. You could sort the directory by
creation date, but it would be helpful if the numeric names were in
chronological order.

Is there a simple way to enhance the script to do this.

Again, thanks for all you work on this script. It is very useful.

Joel

Edward and none,

Thanks for your work on mythlink.sh. It makes viewing recorded programs on
Windows XP much more usable.

I make a minor enhancement to the mythlink.sh script that replaces the ";"
with " -" which makes the subtitles more readable. For example, from one of
my wife's recordings, the subtitle:

Silver Beads; Ceramist; Stamping Products

without this patch becomes:

Silver_Beads__Ceramist__Stamping_Products

with the new patch, it becomes:

Silver_Beads_-_Ceramist_-_Stamping_Products

which I think is more readable.


The patch adds the single line:

$nfn =~ s/;/ -/g;

as follows:

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@
                 my $nfn = "${subtitle}";
                 $nfn =~ s/ /_/g;
                 $nfn =~ s/&/+/g;
+                $nfn =~ s/;/ -/g;
                 $nfn =~ s/[^+0-9a-zA-Z_-]+/_/g;
 		my $nfn_orig = $nfn;
 		my $file_conflict = 1;
