Add libmythtv-perl to mythtv-backend build to make mythlink.pl usable
This commit will add in the MythTV perl libraries into the mythtv-backend container to facilitate the use of mythlink.pl.
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl
Wow, that's an old/forgotten script! But indeed it's still in the source repo - see wiki doc for mythlink.pl and source on github. Do any of the installable packages at Mythbuntu ppa include the mythlink.pl script?
I haven't checked to see if it's present in any of the Myth packages. I just stuck the script into my DVR recording directory and ran it from there. I'll see if I can find out when I take some free time later in the week.
Also, the script is not as ill-maintained as the docs would suggest. Its been updated at some point to allow renaming in the Plex-friendly "Title - SXXEYY - Title.ext" format, so it's at least a bit useful. It seems like Myth is likely a lot more robust of a DVR solution than the inbuilt Plex DVR, so I'm trying to see how well they can work together.
It looks like the file is supposed to be contained within the mythtv-backend package, but I don't see the file in my container.
mythtv@mythtv-backend:~$ dpkg -S mythlink.pl
mythtv-backend: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl
mythtv@mythtv-backend:~$ ls -al /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl': No such file or directory
Ahoy! Just curious if the above change can be merged in. I'm getting ready to upgrade to a v32 container and it would be wonderful if I didn't have to manually customize my container image.
Can you add the mythlink,pl script to this PR? If it's not part of any system package, then add a fetch operation (with checksum verification) to pull it from github. Something like
ARG PPA_BRANCH=32
ARG MYTHLINK_SHA=459cb8b60adae4b631a95a9cfb1b41dcb959cc4a0b9053582a711d58b8d8a0d2
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MythTV/mythtv/fixes/${PPA_BRANCH}/mythtv/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl
echo "$MYTHLINK_SHA mythlink.pl" | sha256sum -c
That way the build will have similar robustness as an apt package.
The PR has been updated with the commands you suggested. I needed to bump the mythtv package version against the latest shown here to get the container to build.
@d0ct0rvenkman the image tag 32.0-fixes.202305160103.72024244b8 is published with this update (I've also set permissions of mythlink.pl to rwxr-xr-x).
Version 33.1 is out so I'll get that published when I get some time.
