First off, this isn't a bug request but a question. I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this, or if it has already been answered but to be honest I don't think I can read all 83 pages of this thread. I'm looking to configure ML to create all symlinks to the recordings in one directory and hopefully point Boxee to that directory over SMB.
I currently have a master and slave backend. The master has 2 tuners via an HDHomeRun (which currently isn't hooked up). The slave has one tuner, an HD-PVR. Right now virtually all my recordings live on this slave BE.Each backend has two local storage groups. If I were to implement ML, I assume I would put it on the master backend and share out that directory via SMB? Would ML traverse the two local storage directories? And how would it get the shows that are recorded on the slave backend?
Or should I install it on the slave BE and hope that the magic that is Myth will automatically communicate with the master backend? Right now I run mythlink.pl nightly and point my Boxee Box to one of the storage directories on the slave BE over SMB.
Thanks in advance, this looks like a great app and I'm pretty psyched that you spend so much time supporting it!
I plan on moving all my storage groups to one big NFS volume in the near future, which may make these issues moot. But I'd like to better understand how MythicalLibrarian and its symlinks work, and if it's easy enough to implement now or if I should wait.
