README

        
This is a simple application to synchronise two folders. It was designed for

synchronising media across FTP to a mede8er player but should (in theory) be

able to sync local->local, local->ftp, ftp->local. Though the last hasn't really

been tested. Shout if it's important to you.

To use, you need python -- at least v 2.6. 3.1 seems to work as well -- though

this has only been briefly tested. Again, feed back if this is an issue, please!

Ok, so this should work on any python-capable system. Once you have a working

python install (it's "just there" on any decent Linux distro; alternatively

install ActivePython for windows), unpack this zip file somewhere and run

> medesync.py -h

or

> medesync.py --help

for more verbose help

Run from a console, of course. Usage is quite simple -- the help and sample

shell script should help out. I have this running in a cron job at night so

that my mede8er stays up to date and watched items (the watched indicator

only came in from firmware v3) are removed from the player, making finding

and playing something new / the next episode in a series much easier.

A note on how archiving works:

If you specify an archive directory with -a, medesync looks for files on the

remote host which have been marked as watched by the mede8er. The mede8er does

this in a very simple manner: it just creates a .t file in the same dir; ie

if you watched Aliens.avi, then a file Aliens.avi.t would appear in that folder.

When medesync sees one of these files, it removes the remote file and the

watched indicator file and moves the corresponding local file into the archive

folder. So your media isn't lost -- just moved to make it easier to get into

the new stuff!

This software is released under the BSD license. The license is very permissive:

basically the only thing you can't do is claim this is your own work. The source

is available for modification and I would appreciate it if any modifications

are submitted back for inclusion into the project.

Finally, I accept NO RESPONSIBILITY for the usage of this script IN ANY WAY. If

you lose precious videos because of this script, I'm sorry -- but I'm not

responsible. You shouldn't though -- I've been using this for at least 6 months

now, reliably.

If you have any queries or issues, you can email me at [email protected]

Please be patient with reply time (:
