[mythtv-users] updated mythlink.sh

[Joel Melohn]

I made some additional updates and tweaks to mythlink.sh which I think makes
it much more useful for accessing the recorded programs from Windows.

Here is a summary of the changes that I made:

1.  Left the spaces in (Two lines can be uncommented if you want to have
spaces replaced by underlines) so that "Embryologist Ian Wilmut; Dolly, the
world's first cloned mammal" is the file name instead of
"Embryologist_Ian_Wilmut_-_Dolly__the_world_s_first_cloned_mammal"

2.  Replaced ":" with " -" in title and subtitle, so that "Kenny Chelsey:
Back where I come from" becomes "Kenny Chelsey: Back where I come from"

3.  Changed ";" with " -" in title and subtitle, so that "Embryologist Ian
Wilmut; Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal" becomes "Embryologist Ian
Wilmut - Dolly  the world s first cloned mammal"

4.  changed "/" with "-" in title and subtitle, so that "Garage/storage
space" becomes "Garage-storage space"

5.  When there is no "subtitle", use "description" instead of "subtitle" for
the file name.

6.  Sort the recordings so that when there are duplicates, the duplicates
are numbered in chronological order so that the highest number is the newest
recording.

Edward and None, Thanks again for your work on mythlink.sh.

Let me know what you think of these changes. My family has been using them
today and are very happy with the ease of use that it provides.

Joel

Well, I think that I have answered my own question. The attached patch seems
to provide numerical file names that are numbered in chronological order.
All I had to do is add the  "ORDERED BY starttime" clause to the select
statement as below:

/usr/bin/mysql -uroot  mythconverg -B --exec "select
chanid,starttime,endtime,title,subtitle from recorded ORDER BY starttime;"
>/tmp/mythlink.$$

One thing that I have encounterd with mythlink.sh is that if you have a set
of episodes of the same program that do not have a subtitle, you end up with
a subdirectory containing 1.nuv, 2.nuv, 3.nuv, etc. However, the files are
not numbered in chronological order. You could sort the directory by
creation date, but it would be helpful if the numeric names were in
chronological order.

Is there a simple way to enhance the script to do this.

Again, thanks for all you work on this script. It is very useful.

Joel

Edward and none,

Thanks for your work on mythlink.sh. It makes viewing recorded programs on
Windows XP much more usable.

I make a minor enhancement to the mythlink.sh script that replaces the ";"
with " -" which makes the subtitles more readable. For example, from one of
my wife's recordings, the subtitle:

Silver Beads; Ceramist; Stamping Products

without this patch becomes:

Silver_Beads__Ceramist__Stamping_Products

with the new patch, it becomes:

Silver_Beads_-_Ceramist_-_Stamping_Products

which I think is more readable.


The patch adds the single line:

$nfn =~ s/;/ -/g;

as follows:

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@
                 my $nfn = "${subtitle}";
                 $nfn =~ s/ /_/g;
                 $nfn =~ s/&/+/g;
+                $nfn =~ s/;/ -/g;
                 $nfn =~ s/[^+0-9a-zA-Z_-]+/_/g;
 		my $nfn_orig = $nfn;
 		my $file_conflict = 1;
