    hi
    i wonder if is it possible to organise/list the recorded programs ,by program, the way it is now using vix + bluehd skin, all recorded programs are in one long list (in folder /media/hdd/movie), how can i have all episodes from lets say program A in 1 folder ,folder A, and so on !

    Not sure if there is some plugin to do it, but it can be done via telnet/ssh.

    Code
    cd /media/hdd/movie
mkdir programa
mv *programa* programa


    Just make sure in the mv (move) command, you select an appropriate wildcard to match only the programs you want to move! To see which files before to test, try:

    Code
    ls *programa*


    Can also be done with some ftp manager (filezilla, etc) Just make sure you move ALL files for each recording (.ts .ts.mets .ts.sc .ts.ap .ts.cuts .eit etc)


    Also, once you create the directories, if you have timer recordings, you can set the location to the appropriate place and it will record there directly...


    BTW, you can also make sub-directories as well/

    Code
    mkdir porn
mkdir porn/blondes
mkdir porn/brunettes
mkdir porn/redheads
mkdir porn/young_shaved
mkdir porn/old_hairy

    Easiest way is to use tags, but that does not work very well. There was a script by a user called varianjv to automatically move recordings based on names. However, it fails if you use a combination of file name compositions.


    For regulatr recordings, you are better off schedling the recordings in a folder.


    On most images, there are three file name compositions for recordinsg. On Vix, there are four. You can name them by event name. This makes subsequent manipulation by FTP a lot easier. Obviously no use for existing recordings.

    i think i'll go for the ftp option to create a new directory, then use the remote to move the recorded programs to the desired location. thank you everyone for your quick replies
