[mythtv-users] Listing Currently Recording File Names

Does anyone know how to list the filenames and full file paths of files
that are currently recording?

The status page doesn't list these, so I would imagine that I would have
to query the database.

The reason that I need this is that on occasion my DVB-T card stops
responding on one or both of its "adapters"
I have a script that fixes this by rmmoding/modprobe the driver after it
stops responding, but I'd like to automate it using monit.

The backend logs don't seem to have any messages that I can monitor to
detect this situation (any suggestions welcome) , so the only solution I
can think of is to get a list of the names of the files that currently
should be recording, check that the file exists and is changing and then
run my script if it they are not. (again any suggestions welcome.)


Thanks
