Right, solved.<br><br>For reference, the command to put in as a user job is:<br><br>mythvidexport.py %JOBID%<br><br>No options should be entered if you have preset them by previously running the script with --tformat. When I was running it with "--tformat %JOBID%", it was of course setting the tformat to the job ID number. Similarly, when running from the command line, it was setting tformat to "--chanid". Obvious now I look at it. My thinking was that --tformat forced the file to be named with the tformat, as some shows are wrongly detected as films and named incorrectly. I guess I just have to put the entire line in as a userjob, rather than pre-setting the format.<br>
<br>I would still like to know how to run this on every recording, getting there though!<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Martin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 31 December 2010 10:52, Martin Moores <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:moores.martin@gmail.com">moores.martin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Another question on this, is there an easy way to run this on all recordings? Otherwise I would have to set this off on each one (quite quick via mythweb).<br><br>Many thanks for any pointers<br><font color="#888888"><br>
