    OTOH, I would like to have titles in the mythvideo metadata
to be "recorded" so that they appear with everything else. The
idea would be to feed content into the Recordings list as stuff
is watched or "deleted".

    Deletion of the old stuff would trigger something else to be
"recorded". I already have some shell scripts to kind of achieve
this idea from within MythVideo but it's rather crude.

    Plus in general I would like to see a unified view of all video
somewhere. It would be cool if MythTV doesn't record stuff that's
already been ripped into mythvideo too (assuming that's not already
supposed to happen).
