[mythtv-users] Myth Video Organization

[Steve Peters - Priority Electronics]

Nick, I found the script...but it didn't work. Does anyone have any know how
with this one? Is there some sort of special naming scheme my files must be?
Currently they are like this: The_Simpsons__-_The_Bart_Of_War.avi

So, show name, then episode name then .avi.

-Thanks
-Steve

ragetvgrab.pl will do that, search the archives to find the download link..

Personally I would rather amend ragetvgrab.pl to insert the data in the
mythvideo part of the database and keep the videos in there (orincipally
because I am used to it, and like to use mplayer which is not an option if
they are in "recordings". But I don't really have the skills to change the
script.

That all happens in mythvideo, but the info needs to be in there first.
Depends on the view of course.

I know the feeling.
