Mythvideo introduced a number of new features in 0.22, and after using<br>
it for a while, I have found that I do not like some of them. I have<br>
disabled Jamu. But the thing that I find most annoying is the mangled<br>
file names. Clearly the files I have downloaded do not follow the<br>
conventions that Mythvideo is expecting, and the resulting mangled<br>
names are really annoying. So far, I have not found any way to turn<br>
this off and just get the real file names. Is that possible?<br>
<br>
If not, then I think I will need to get the source for mythvideo and<br>
do a fix for myself. Does anyone know how to get the source for the<br>
JYA version of mythvideo, and how to build packages from it after I do<br>
a build so that I can handle the updating in a sane manner?<br></blockquote><div><br>You don't need to alter the source, just the theme. The filename is already available to the theme so it's just a matter of replacing the title with the filename in the title box (or adding it as a new box).<br>
<br>I found I had to do a bit of messing around to get everything working smoothly, in particular I had to modify the theme quite a bit (mainly because it's a widescreen theme but I'm using a 4:3 resolution) but now I think it looks great (see screenshot attached - note the full filename at the bottom). So long as your naming convention allows Myth to correctly interpret the series and episode number it's very painless: I just save the file, scan (which you can now do in MythVideo) find what I want to watch and hit 'w' to get the details and image.<br>
