Although I'll admit that your approach had one benefit mine didn't:
you could list the directories to quickly see/count what different
titles you have available. (Didn't lose sight of the forest for
the trees.)
Not sure I see your point here, doesn't your solution do basically
the same thing?
Never mind, I see it now... :)
Yeah. Basically with yours you can do the same as:
ls /path/to/view/directory | awk '{split($0,a,"-"); print a[1]}' |
sort --unique
with a simple:
ls /path/to/view
which is much easier to type (and remember ;). I guess there's always:
mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -e 'select distinct(title) from recorded'
Actually, I've got what appears to be a working patch for mythrename. It
only subs on title at the moment. Can you try it out (if you so desire)
and let me know if it works for you? I need to fix the format/indenting...
Also, on your posted patch, how did you get the filenames the way you
did? Mine seems convoluted compared to yours. I'm referring to this part:
Index: contrib/mythrename.pl

--- contrib/mythrename.pl (revision 8364)
+++ contrib/mythrename.pl (working copy)
I assume you are using a local SVN repo? Anyway, here's my patch:
