I am running Ubuntu Karmic x64 Server edition where I am running mythicalLibrarian - I believe you are also on Karmic yes?
The checks, now that you have explained them, are actually not relevant to me, but I do see why you want them - my XBMC TV directory is on the same filesystem as my mythtv directory - so if there is enough space to create them in myth, then there's enough to move them. However, I'll make the changes you suggested and let you know which worked.
I am running in to three other problems - not related to this one.
1. All Shows with have a EPID of SHxxxxx are simply ignored, I have a few specials for my kids that are present on TheTVDB, but the script exits when that EPID is detected without trying TheTVDB.
2. No sports programs seem to work. I watch Rugby on Setanta, and TheTVDB refuses to host sports programs, so there is no validation, other than the entry in Myth. However, Schedules Direct does seem to do a pretty good job of capturing the match names etc., so all the info I care (tournament, participants, game date - that should be enough to create a unique entry) about is there. I suspect that I will need to do more than capture the commerical skips and move the file, will probably need an NFO for XBMC in library mode to recognise the show and display it (don't have the experience to be 100% yet) - do you have plans for that?
3. This is a weird one - more details later. But basically, when I have a new show, that has no episode information in Myth, the script works well, and captures all the relevant stuff from TheTVDB. When the next episode in the same series comes along, the script claims not enough information. If, however, I delete the directory entry from ~/mythicalLibrarian of the show, then rerun the script it works straight away. There seems to be something in creating the show directory in the database that is needed.
Anyway, from my perspective, still making excellent progress - thanks for the pointers.
