it seems i have to install new - the january version i was using doesn't respond to the sudo mythicalLibrarian --update command - says it can't find mythicalLibrarian.

given above, wouldn't i want to put mythicalLibrarian in /home/mythtv/.mythicalLibrarian ?

MOVEDIR and PrimaryShowDir
Both of these are commented as the directory to which MythicalLibrarian will first try to move shows...
and you initialize them to different paths - /home/mythtv/Episodes and /home/mythtv/Showings. (I realize i have to change them, but wondering why have two variables and why they wouldn't be initialized to the same thing).
1. ability to add unrecognized non-tvdb shows
2. ability to identify season and episode for sports and news
These two implementations require a separate folder for categorization. The new folder does not get scraped against thetvdb and is recognized by XBMC by using S0E0(showing identifer) or a unique SyearEmonthday(categoric identifer). Both of these require a separate folder.
Episodes=recognized tvdb naming
Showings=unrecognized but filed recordings
Quote:Finally, am guessing i can just delete my /home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian directory and reinstall new - just need clarification on above (/usr/local/bin vs /home/mythtv/.mythicalLibrarian)mythicalLibrarian uses ./mythicalLibrarian for it's settings now. The script is located in /usr/local/bin to conform to Linux filesystem guidelines. I may be relocating settings to /usr/share/mythicalLibrarian. Either way... here's what you need:
thx, jay
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl
mkdir ~/.mythicalLibrarian && mkdir ~/.mythicalLibrarian/mythicalSetup && cd ~/.mythicalLibrarian/mythicalSetup
curl [url=http://mythicallibrarian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mythicalSetup.sh][color=#0000ff]http://mythicallibrarian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mythicalSetup.sh[/color][/url]>./mythicalSetup.sh
sudo chmod +x ./mythicalSetup.sh && sudo ./mythicalSetup.sh
You can rm -Rf ~/mythicalLibrarian if you would like. There is no cross-compatability between the old tracking/database system from January and the new. This was the primary reason for the tracking/database folder change
As of last night I was able to get my old Ubuntu running again with pretty much all new system components. No more booting from a flash drive. The last SVN commit was just a test of SVN submission. This weekend I intend to sit down and perform all the requested changes on the previous page of this thread.
