When you provide a directory for files to be browsed on an apache server it looks like 1990. Even gopher had a better looking interface. Today I stumbled uponĀ h5ai, which makes it look and feel like a 2012 frontend! I now use mythlink.pl to generate a fake directory listing of my MythTV files to /var/www/MythTV/ to enable me to download a recording really quick without needing to go through MythWeb.
perl /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link /var/www/MythTV/ --format '%U/%T/%T%-%S'
