Why I prefer symlinks instead of renaming files:
a) I can put the symlinks in a "clean" directory that doesn't contain a bunch of thumbnail files that I don't care about (all the .png files). b) I can make multiple "views" allowing me to identify recordings by whatever criteria I desire (i.e. sorted by title/start time, title/original airdate, start time, recording group/title/start time, category/title/start time).
   c) I couldn't care less what the database/myth calls the files. ;)

Mike,

Do you know why the symlinks that I created with mythlink.sh don't work when using them from a remote computer with the myth machines hard drive connect as an NFS drive over the network? Either that or programs like Xine can't play video files via symlinks, and gmplayer and kaffeine won't even show symlinks in their file open dialogs?
