I think something like this is what I am looking for.  I was able to access
a directory containing the recordings (I think the issue was naming, but
when choosing a home video channel for plex to populate, that worked), but
all my recordings are mpeg and Roku needs mp4 or has to transcode, which is
very slow and didn't seem to work at all.

I have a bunch of free space on my windows computer.  I think what I would
ideally like to do is transcode all my recordings into mp4 and put on my
windows box and then have a user job that automatically does this after a
show ends (having the mythbox do the transcoding while recognizing this
would not be done anywhere near real time).  I think I could then also put
these files on my ipad in that format to play when I am travelling.

Is this something your script could do (automatically move the transcoded
file to another directory, which would be a windows share mounted on my
mythbox)?
