Thanks outleradam. I'm hoping these comments might help you find and fix some bugs
Besides, the stable version does not work for me either because for some reason it thinks all my directories do not exist. I'll have to keep looking into that.
1. Understood, but a lot of people will not log into their system as the mythtv user, in which case you would use "sudo su mythtv" to become the mythtv user. This is mentioned in your documentation. I do not use the sudo command to run the script once I am the mythtv user, but the earlier user switch is still detected.
Side note -> the --scan option no longer works, only -s
2. So you mean that what is written in the globalSettings file is read first on every run of the script or that it is meant to set the defaults in the script during setup?
3. I'm not sure I understand. I run the script as mythtv, then nothing is recognized so they are made into doover jobs. Then I run the doover as mythtv again and nothing happens. I'm not changing users at this point.
4. Sounds good to me
Odd that it has different results on runs directly one after the other though.

Code:
[email protected]:~$ sudo su mythtv
[sudo] password for user1:
[email protected]:/home/user1$ whoami
mythtv
[email protected]:/home/user1$ mythicalLibrarian -s mpg "/media/shared/mythtv/recordings"
Do not run this command with sudo.
