mythicalLibrarian - a tool to build Movie and TV Show library from MythTV recordings

Code:

#! /bin/bash

mkfifo NamedPipe  #make a pipe

ls -1 >./NamedPipe & #write file list to pipe, one file per line

while read line   #loop through pipe, line by line

do

 if [ ${line:(-3)}  = "mpg" ]; then  #if last 3 chars are mpg

   MythTranscode blahBlah $line #$line will be the name of the file  You need to figure out the options for mythTranscode

 fi

done <./NamedPipe  #input for the pipe

rm ./NamedPipe  #cleanup the left-over named pipe so it does not clutter the filesystem

echo "All Operations Complete [url=file://\\n]\\n[/url] Done." #this is so you don't stop it prematurely

PHP Code:

#Run a transcoding program on the file
ffmpeg -i $MoveDir/$ShowFileName.$OriginalExt -target ntsc-vcd $MoveDir/$ShowFileName.$OriginalExt

#Write the new file extension over the old extension for logging
originalext=mp4 

#Run logging for the new file extension so mythicalLibrarian can keep track of files it created.
performLoggingForMoveMode #or performLoggingForLinkMode
 
#remove the mythicalLibrarian symlink
rm "$InputPath"

#make a new symlink
ln -s  "$MoveDir/$ShowFileName.originalext" "$InputPath"

#Enable XBMC Communications which were disabled so mythicalLibrarian did not communicate when the command was called before
XBMCUpdate=Enabled
XBMCClean=Enabled
XBMCNotify=Enabled

#Tell mythicalLibrarian to send a message to XBMC and update the library
XBMCAutomate

#Don't exit, just let mythicalLibrarian take back over.
