OK, so it looks like deleting all the show folders from .mythicalLibrarian solved my issue.
While looking through this thread earlier to see if there were any hints to the problem I was having, I stumbled upon MythDataDeleter. Right now, mythicalLibrarian moves the file to a network share, and upon a successful move runs Handbrake to transcode the file to an mkv. This works great, but I still have to go back into either Mythtv or the Web Page to delete the recording. I would like to automate the removal of the recording, but not until after it is verified that Handbrake completed.
Any suggestions on how I can tell if the encode completed? I could use mkvinfo and check the "Duration" of the mkv... what could I use for the same effect with the original recording?
There really is nothing that I could easily use from the log file, as far as I can tell, to show if it completed. Even if handbrake crashes halfway through, the log still says that mythicalLibrarian has completed for that recording, and handbrake only says "Rip Done!" when it finishes... I don't know of a way to check which recording is "Done!"... unless you can do something like a grep to find the recording name, and then a nested grep to look for the "Rip Done!" (Is that even possible?).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
