Yes, that is exactly what I want.

I run GiP on a Ubuntu server and for both radio and tv programmes they download into a folder of the name GiP_Downloads/radio or GiP_Downloads/tv (as appropriate [they're on separate raid drives]) and then some code runs to convert radio progs into MP3 and generate a .nfo file for use by LibreElec which runs on a Pi which resides in my lounge. For tv progs, it also generates a .hmi file for use by a Humax machine. But both types are then moved into GiP_Downloads/radio_downloads or tv_downloads. Films are moved from the GiP_Downloads/tv folder and saved on a third mount on the Ubuntu box but I do that with a preset and so your suggestion sounds like something I could do with another preset somehow. Not clear at this stage quite how I would do it but I think your idea about renaming sounds workable. I might even call it monthname to make it clear to me in the future what it does ;-) Thanks for the ideas. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .------------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_pcm...@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |________________________________________________| _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
