[mythtv-users] HOWTO: exclude subdir from MythVideo indexing?

[Ross Campbell]

I commercial cut and transcode most of my recordings, and then for specific
recordings that I want to save for longer periods of time, I nuvexport them
to divx and crunch them down to small file sizes. Then, I move these
recordings under subdirs in my mythvideo directory.

What I'd like to do is exclude my "nuvexported TV shows" from mythvideo new
video scanning, and only browse them from the "folder view". Is there some
entry in a dotfile in that directory that exists to tell mythvideo to not
scan that dir? Any other way to do this?

I remember seeing messages about a directory-specific dotfile (.mythvideo?)
that could contain a specific player command to override defaults for a give
directory. Could that file be expanded to provide override default values
for new files discovered in that directory and all subdirs as well?

Also, regarding nuvexport and sql metadata... is there any video file
container format that has the equivalent of an "ID3 tag" that can be used
with nuvexport for storage of the show metadata that is in the mythtv
database? I know Matroska has tag support... does any other video container
support tags? http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/tagging/


Thanks.
