Thanks. Worked for me as well. I think the manual installation instructions on the wiki are broken Confused

By the way, why did you install as root? Why not as your regular user?

I just wanted to be logged in as user <mythtv>, not my regular login user, to make sure the permissions worked out.

Good idea. It worked!

I has a pretty easy feature request I can help code if needed

When moving/lnking a video, also move or link the thumbnails.

Motivation: I use this to set up minidlna instead of the inbuilt mythtv upnp server and passing coverat/thumbnails would be nice.

It would be simple to implement
Whenever a file is moved or link also move or link $filename.*.png as cover.png, thumb.png or some other name.

I stuck a link of code in my mythicalLib file to do this for my use case.

Hi, I wanted to do some editing with MythTV Frontend on recordings that ML had already moved and linked. What I came up with is a modified commercialremover.sh from the MythTV wiki.

Thought I'd share it here, if anyone is interested -> http://ubuntuone.com/5A3HZkTxMims3SzNlCtJXV

Use MythTV Frontend edit(add cutlist) run as userjob or command line

Code:

/PATH/TO/commercialremover.sh %DIR% %FILE% %CHANID% %STARTTIME%

This basically runs like the commercialremover.sh except we move the newly transcoded file to overwrite the real file instead of the link.
This only works with 0.25 and likely only with the lossless transcode profile.
Would be easy to edit for 0.24 or to-do commercial flagging>import cutlist.

First of all, thank you for your work on this product. I just got my new system up and running and this is a fundamental part of how we use MythTV and XBMC together.

One question I cannot find the answer to: How can I prevent mythicalLibrarian from trying to move my Live TV recordings? Is there a MythTV setting that I have missed? Whenever I change Live TV channels, ML kicks on and attempts to move the files to my NAS and then fails. I cannot find the failed recording details in the output.log file.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean? You have mythicalLibrarian running on Live TV? I don't know how that will work since it's not recorded and there's no database information. You probly want to figure out why it's running on Live TV. I need more information. Why are you changing the channel while it's recording?

Here are the output.log entries created while channel surfing live TV.

I also have a screenshot of the MythWeb Backend Status page that shows errors for each show I watched during my surfing.

Run

Code:

sudo mythicalLibrarian --update

until there are no errors.
