[mythtv-users] ConvertX SVHS input and Exporting

[Andrew Taylor]

Hello all.  Finally played with mythtv yesterday.  Excellent, but now I 
need a new hard drive (or two). 

I do have a few things I can't figure out, however.  How do I choose 
svhs input for the ConvertX?  I've set default input to svhs in 
mythsetup->capture cards->go7007, and given Composite a lower priority 
than S-Video in mythsetup->input connections, but it still only records 
over composite.

Also, how does one go about exporting .nuv for backup on removable 
media?  I can't play .nuv directly with mplayer (unsure if this is an 
amd64 issue), and the naming is unfriendly.  Is it possible to re-encode 
to a .avi, rename and still maintain the link into the media browser? 

What would be really nice is to have the myth data sitting in the 
transport header (ie ogg fields or similar) so that archived myth 
recordings could be identified and external myth recordings could be 
integrated (ie this file was dl'd and it's this program, which is 
scheduled, but I now have this episode, so no need to record this 
episode).  Combine that with offline archive knowledge and it would not 
record an episode which is already recorded, regardless of where it 
actually is (ie recording metadata kept). 

Yeah, I can hear it now... 'He just runs it yesterday and already he 
wants a CMS'.  heh.  Thanks,

Andy
