Oh, so it was only incorrect for a short time.  I was confused what  
correct behavior was.

Right after the metadata grab it switches to just "$SUBTITLE", then  
after moving to another button it switches to "$TITLE $SEASONx$EPISODE  
- $SUBTITLE"

In my case the list view looks like $TITLE -> Season $SEASON -> <the  
button I was talking about>, so having just $SUBTITLE made sense to  
me, and the correct behavior adds a lot of redundant information --  
though ideally I would prefer to see SnnEnn - $SUBTITLE on the button.

The formatting of the filenames and text for the mythvideo TV episodes  
keeps coming up over and over again, seems like it might be a good  
idea to consolidate into a group of settings in the database that all  
the metadata grabbers (jamu, mythvidexport.py, etc) and the mythvideo  
pages could use.  Presumably an option after the 0.22 release.

Thanks,

David.
