late in on this thread but this feature excites me too...
Thanks for the info.
One other feature that would be worthwhile but I don't think is in there
yet would be to distinguish between movies and TV Shows so that links to
Movies could be generated into one directory structure and links to TV
shows into another. I assume the best way of doing this might be to have
mythlink.pl read an additional parameter to restrict it's output to a
certain content type. That way you could run it twice, once for each
content type in your library.

Cheers

Phil
