#857: Patch to mythrename.pl to work correctly with slave backends

minor | Milestone: Component:
mythtv | Version: head

This small patch updates mythrename.pl to use the hostname when
deciding
what records to process. I only use the --link option, so further
testing
may be required.
If you check for hostname with the query, we won't get links to
recordings recorded on other backends, even if the file exists on
the filesystem (i.e. multiple backends share a recordings directory
using NFS). Since mythrename.pl checks for the existence of the
file before creating the link, we shouldn't need to do this check.
As is, we (should) only get links to recordings that are available
through the filesystem and recordings whose filies are not available
are (should be) ignored.
If there's a specific problem/error you're trying to fix, more info
would be nice... :)
Hrm. Well, in my case, using the --link option on both my master and
slave backends creates the same links on both, so something isn't
working. I'll see if I can narrow it down some more. At a quick
glance, I don't see where the check for the file existence is being
done, but I'm no perl expert.
Hrmmm. It seems that mythlink.sh had it, but mythlink.pl (which
eventually became mythrename.pl) never got it...
So, how's this? It should also make for many less "restores" after
rename fails on inaccessible files... Good catch.
If it works, you can post it on your ticket as a replacement for your
patch (since this should meet both our expectations :).
Thanks (and, thanks especially for noticing my reply on the list
instead of only watching the ticket),

That seems to do it! I'll update the ticket.
There are a couple of other things that mythlink did that mythrename
doesn't... :)
1) It doesn't delete old links for shows that have been deleted (I just
add an rm * but it's pretty brutal)
2) I like to organize the links by making a folder for each show, and
then just have the shows listed by title and date (again, I hacked mine,
but not nicely)
Tom
