In SVN mythlink.pl becomes mythrename.pl which, as it's name implies, can
actually rename files in addition to creating pretty links to them.
Because mythlink.pl just made extra links I was calling it with an hourly cron
job. But now that the actual file names are being modified, is it still safe
to do this with such impunity? Or should I worry about accidently renaming
files that are currently open by the backend?
You could still use the --link (or --dest or any of it's other names)
command line option, which tells it to make links in the specified
link/dest directory. (Don't tell Chris I told you about this because he
prefers changing the filenames. :)
This is my preferred approach because I like having all my shows listed
in a "clean" directory--i.e. without all the PNG's (thumbnails) and
other junk (i.e. my MythVideo, MythMusic, MythGallery, etc.
directories). Also, creating the links allows you to have multiple
different "views"--i.e. sorted by title/original airdate, title/record
date, recording group/title, category/title, etc.
