It takes a name like 1024_201101011200.mpg (chan_YearMonthDayTime.ext), references the mythtv database, changes the name to Title/Season X/Title SxxExx (Subtitle).ext. It then notifies XBMC that there were changes and to rescan the library. You must have your source set in XBMC in order for the process to work. So you share the files with SAMBA (SMB://) or any other supported method and set the source in XBMC as TV Shows or Movies and mythicalLibrarian manages the XBMC library automatically. Every once in a while you log into the MythTV machine and type mythicalLibrarian --doover to rescan unrecognized shows.
Okay, so (apologize for the noobness here but just getting the hang of XBMC after longtime mythfrontend reliance which I'm trying to abandon hehe) I run it from the .100, which is the Myth BE. I currently have the Myth recordings mounted on the .101-- the XBMC box-- as /media/myth, so I add video source /media/myth, and mythicalLibrarian automatically manages the /media/myth source correct? Will it interfere with the rest of my library (all of which are on the .101 XBMC machine)?
Logging into the Myth BE is no prob as I have a constant urxvt screen session open with it and do a lot on it with httpd as it is, so that should work out well.
Thanks very much!
