Dear Klaus,

I can see three options for getting what you want:

i) modify the recording metadata for the affected movies to remove the
"_(manual_recording)" text if it is present

ii) modify the mythlink script to remove the "_(manual_recording)"
string from %T before it is used to create the symlink. Th is requires
some Perl knowledge.

iii) update your shell script to correctly modify the symlink names.


How many affected movies do you have?

Cheers,
Nick
