Post subject:  Mytharchive Native Archive ISO won't create
Release R5D1 with upgrade to 0.20 per instructions.

I have a separate disk mounted on /myth/archive with lots of space.

root@mythtv:/myth/archive/work/Smallville# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 4820232 2718332 1857740 60% /

/dev/hdb1 244076732 7792664 236284068 4% /myth/archive

I have configured the setup to create the temporary files in /myth/archive
and that seems to happen ok. (As a test I'm trying to make an archive of
a Smallville eposode.

If I select a burn to dvd, that works ok.

If I select burn to a file (I set it to burn to /myth/archive/tmp/smallville.iso) it
never sets the pathname to the correct place. When mythburn.py runs it
tries to create an iso image of the root directory.

The contents of /myth/archive/config/mydata.xml looks like this:
root@mythtv:/myth/archive/config# cat mydata.xml
<!DOCTYPE NATIVEARCHIVEJOB>
<nativearchivejob>
<job>
<media>
<file title="Smallville" type="recording" delete="0" filename="1231_20070111185900.mpg" />
</media>
<options dvdrsize="230744" mediatype="3" erasedvdrw="0" createiso="1" doburn="0" savedirectory="" />
</job>
</nativearchivejob>

The savedirectory is just empty (which presumably should be set to the path
for the backend script to know what to do).

As I mentioned, burning to a dvd works ok. I believe that uses mythburnwizzard
and the native archive uses exportnativewizzard. I didn't see any posted bugs
in exportnativewizzard but wonder if anyone else has tried this?

Maybe this isn't the same problem, but for what it's worth, I also didn't have any success using the Create Native Archive option for MythArchive on R5E50. I don't really know what a "Native Archive" is supposed to do, but the only end-product I was looking for was an ISO file that I could copy to another computer that has a DVD-RW drive and burn to DVD-R.

So instead of "Create Native Archive", I used the "Create DVD" option. But in the subsequent setup screen, instead of checkmarking "Burn to DVD", I chose "Make ISO image". The end product was about 12 GB of folders and files in /myth/archive. Inside of /myth/archive/work, there was the fruit of my perilous labor, "mythburn.iso" which I then copied to another computer and successfully burnt to DVD-R.

Is it possible to cause mythburn.iso to be named the title-subtitle of the program. I would like to move these iso to some other location for buring to disk later, but i forget which is which.
