Mercurial pattern matching example
This is how to remove all .o and .a files in a mercurial repo:
Edit: The file patterns must be enclosed in double-quotes "" (at least on Windows). Single-quotes will not work.
hg remove -I "glob:**/*.o" -I "glob:**/*.a" **

Running mythfilldatabase as cronjob
Made a script calling grab_dk_dr and mythfilldatabase sequentially. Running that as cronjob of user mythtv.
For some reason the mythfrontend's autorun of mythfilldatabase didn't work.
Note: I had to configure mythfilldatabase to use tuner 2 after changing to anysee tuner.

Changing firmware for Hauppage WinTV MiniStick HD
I'm changing away from the firmware files here, to some obtained directly from Hauppauge http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/WinTV-MiniStick_4_2_10_27180_WHQL.zip.
Now I'll test and see if I get more stable tuning performance under MythTV/Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. I got the idea from here.

Sharing NTFS volume via smb.
- Mount NTFS volume with umask=0222 (samba needs permissions to share drive)
- Mount smb share with iocharset=utf8 (to get special characters to display properly)
