WDLXTV Dictionary/Lexicon

linksheets
full file system search for moviesheets typically executed upon reboot or when a network share is accessed, but can also be initiated manually via SSH or Telnet; when moviesheets are found matching folders or media files they're symlinked into one location, by default in the /msheets directory on the WDLXTV. Used on all B-Rad firmware, except 1.02.21 based firmware, which uses the moviesheets plugin.
