[mythtv-users] Recommendation for a Cheap Frontend.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reminder; this has been on my to-do list for quite some time now, will look into it. 

Would you use mythvidexport.py (from https://github.com/wagnerrp/mythtv-scripts/blob/master/python/mythvidexport.py) as a user job to make the actual move or do you have another recommendation for actually moving recordings to permanent storage in mythvideo? I'm looking for something that  can be triggered using the remote control so it's usable by all persons using the myth system, not just by myself.

Thanks, Martin
