THIS CODE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED
Copy files from EyeTV Archive to Plex Folder
This project is heavily inspired by https://github.com/miyagawa/eyetv-plex/blob/master/eyetvscan
This project is especially useful when used with Plex plugins:
- Extended Personal Media Agent [https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/83440-rel-extended-personal-media-shows-agent/]
- Extended Personal Media Scanner [https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/88982-rel-extended-personal-media-scanner/]
When used with these two plugins, I needed a few more features:
- Should generate .summary files from the information saved in .eyetvr xml file
- Should copy files instead of just linking, as I wanted to move recordings away from HTPC to NAS
- Some MPEGs saved by EyeTV was found to be "broken", ie. Plex couldn't fastforward in files, info was incorrect etc, so uses FFMPEG copy instead of OS copy
- Should only copy files that are X days old
Using this script requires the following (on a Mac OS X Mavericks):
- Install ffmpeg from macports (http://www.macports.org)
- Install rubygem
- Install Gems: streamio-ffmpeg, plist
This script is not widely tested, so use at own risk.
