So how does that work? Are you accessing it off the card? Or does the
card upload it automatically, so that's it locally stored on the
mythbox during playback? If uploaded, then there is another way you
could have solved it. You could install a service called incron to
launch a script to rename the file after it is finished being
uploaded. I do stuff like that with incron. When my android phone
finishes uploading a video to a certain directory, the frontend
launches playback in myth automatically.
