Any way you could get the server to serve files through a directory of
symlinks? If so, use mythrename.pl --link to create a directory of
(nicely named) links to your recordings and you'll never notice the
preview images.
I've considered making a change to trunk that allows Myth to write
preview pixmaps to a storage group with a name like "previews" or
"thumbnails" or something if it exists and otherwise writes them to the
recordings directory. However, it's a rather large change for no new
functionality and--since I just use symlinks from mythrename.pl when
accessing recordings through the command-line--I never see the previews
myself, so it's low on my list of priorities.
