[mythtv-users] Best Practice for moving recorded Episodes to more permanent Storage

I've been meaning to ask.

Now that I have my Plex system running (with the MythTV module -- and it works fine) -- I'd also like to see what people have done in the following scenario...

There are some episodes I like to move to permanent storage copying them out of the MythTV storage area into a different section of my system.

In the past, I've just selectively downloaded (silly, I know) the show in particular from the MythWeb interface and just saved it to the new location.
Then I go back and delete the episode from MythWeb so it's no longer in the recordings storage path. (which is a different set of hdisks)

However, this loses the Season/Episode number which Plex really engages to get metadata.

I suppose I could setup the mythlink.pl so it just generates a directory with the information I want... but I thought I would ask to see if maybe there was a better method I'm missing.

Thanks,

  -Ben
