Why not use UTC_TIMESTAMP() instead of CONVERT_TZ(NOW(), ‘America/Los_Angeles’, ‘UTC’)

It should yes, as the DB structure has not been altered. However, I no longer use MythTV and am unable to test it.

Should MythMedia Monitor work with MythTV 0.25?

FYI, I started using Mythtv-0.26 where they migrated to storing all date/times in UTC (see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UTC ). Thus, in the script all of the times are off when shown in the frontend. My ugly hack was to replace all occurrences of:
NOW()
with
CONVERT_TZ(NOW(), ‘America/Los_Angeles’, ‘UTC’)

Sorry it would help if I gave you the insert statement.

echo “insert into recorded (commflagged,filesize,title,subtitle,description,basename,storagegroup,starttime,endtime,originalairdate,progstart,progend,chanid) values (3,183199932,’The Big Bang Theory – 5×22 – The Stag Convergence.avi’,”,’SE: The Big Bang Theory – 5×22 – The Stag Convergence.avi’,'mmm.tv.The Big Bang Theory – 5×22 – The Stag Convergence.avi’,'Default’,NOW(),NOW(),’–’,NOW(),NOW(),2111);”

Shoudl I rename the files to a different format so that the Title gets picked up correctly?

I seem to have aproblem that the are not falling nicely into the programs classification. All the shows are in the main Programs listing.

Otherwise great work. (I’m on the latest mythtv)

@Brad also make sure your mythtv user has writes to delete the file. I have to do a chmod on the files otherwise it does not delete them.

I can confirm this still works in 0.25

Is there a way to get the script to pull the TV show’s description as well?

Updated to version 0.07. See change-log above.

@Brad: You need to set mythbackend to follow symlinks when deleting. That will delete the file and thus, no re-add. As for the Prime Suspect show, that sounds like a problem with the online tv db, not the filename parsing, so I doubt there’s anything I can do about that.
