It works for me. In fact, it works great for me. In fact, I've made some 
code which does the majority of the work. I've got some cleanup I want 
to do first, and some more testing, and then I'm going to release it.

I say testing, because I've not yet gotten mythtv0.8 compiled and 
installed yet. Last one I've been working with is over a month old CVS, 
and I want to make sure this script still works with it. That, and I'm 
using mplayer0.9.0rc5, and not 0.9.0, so I've got to compile and test 
that too.

However, I'm hoping to release it on Monday, so you can decide for 
yourself what can and can't be done.
