TVWish No No No No No Generate/grab a list of the hundreds of top movies you wish to see someday, and arrange for them to be recorded if they are ever on TV. Instead of browsing what movies are on in the next 2 weeks, just pick all your movies at once, and eventually they'll show up. Look for and record the pilot episodes of hundreds of the top TV series of all time, in case you missed them, or want to try them out. And a lot more....
MythGetTrailers Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes This bash script for MythVideo re-purposes the trailers’ folder and synchronizes the 40 most popular movie trailers on YouTube, with selectable video formats. This allows users to watch a random sampling of new and popular trailers whenever movie viewing begins.

Features and Download: MythGetTrailers Website

MythMediaMonitor No Yes Yes Yes Yes MythMediaMonitor is an advanced bash shell script designed to incorporate external media directly into the recordings screen of Mythfrontend. It includes many features, including auto extraction of MKV subtitles to SRT for playing in MythTV’s internal player, TVRage data grabbing, many filename formats, and support for Movies.

Features and Download: MythMediaMonitor Website

MythExport Yes Yes Yes No No MythExport is a script that can be added to MythTV as a User Job and used to export recordings into a format playable on portable devices such as iPod Video, iPod Touch, and PSP. Besides converting your recordings, this script also grabs data from the MythTV MySQL database and injects it as iTunes data into the exported video so that it will show up correctly on your iPod. Now includes RSS feed and daily cleanup functionality.
MythPodcaster Yes Yes Yes No No Transcoder & RSS Publisher for MythTV Recordings. RSS feeds link to FFMpeg-transcoded copies of MythTV recordings. Feeds can be viewed in RSS-capable web browsers and feed aggregators, including iTunes. Pre-configured with single-pass, two-pass, progressive-download, and Apple HTTP Live Streaming transcoding profiles.
IMDB Bulk Updater No No Yes No No A command line wrapper for mythvideo's tmdb.pl. This tool can be run interactively or from cron to import new videos and populate them with posters, fanart, and meta data where available. This tool is built into MythDora5 and later. The tool has been using tmdb.pl since imdb.pl was replaced in the mythvideo baseline.
nuvexport Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Command line script for exporting recordings to a number of formats including DivX, Xvid, DVD, SVCD, NUV+SQL. Easy to use: Select recording and options from numbered lists. (more info: nuvexport website / nuvexport wiki)
nuv2avi Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes - Command line program for converting MPEG-4 .nuv files to DivX. It does not recode the file, so it is very fast, but noisy recordings will probably have audio sync problems.
Myth Recording Extender (MRE) Yes No No No No PHP5 application that monitors live events that are being recorded and will auto-extend recordings when it's determined the live event is running late. Written with live sports events in mind (NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA support included), but not limited to just sports. Requires Myth 0.19+.
MythTV to iPod Yes No No No No Create iPod compatible videos setting the meta data correctly for your recordings.

Mythnuv2mkv Yes Yes No No No Converts MythTV nuv files to mkv, mp4 or avi files. Can be run as a MythTV User Job or at command line to convert MythTV recordings or stand alone files. The converted recordings can either replace the nuv one or be copied to another location. If this other location is under the MythVideoDir, tmdb will be searched, a MythVideo db entry created and a coverfile file created if one was not available at tmdb.
mythtv-status Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Display the status of a local or remote MythTV backend. Can send an email if there is a recording conflict (soon to be extended to other issues). If installing the Debian package then your MOTD will be updated on a regular basis.
mythtv-backend.pcsk Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Replacement rc script for mythbackend (/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend.pcsk). Uses Process Creation's Swiss-Army Knife (PCSK) to supervise mythbackend and respawn it if (when) it crashes. Provides more intelligent process checking than the standard rc script. It also utilises mythtv-status, if you have it installed, to give useful info about recording and scheduling as well as process status.

Outdated

The following plugins need to be updated for the latest MythTV release. Some of these plugins are unavailable but are kept just to keep track of the types of plugins that have been done in the past.

The most recent versions are on top of this list.

Plugin Last Supported Version Description
MythKaraoke 0.19 Listen to Music and sing it.
MythChannels (unavailable) 0.15 A Plugin to configure the Channels.
MythTiVo 0.11 A GUI Front End to allow selection of Now Showing Items from any IP connected TiVo.
MythRoast 0.18 Another DVD burning plugin

MythTube #5589 pre-0.22 Internet video plugin which allows the user to search and watch Youtube videos and customise their own channels with integrated Miro browsing.
MythFM - Listen to Radio.
MythStreamTV [1] 0.20 Live transcoding and streaming of MythTV recordings over the network. This is a patched version which works with the new MythWeb. The original version can be found at sourceforge here, but it hasn't worked since MythTV 0.18. For this you have to use the patched version found under the first link.
NOTE: There are issues to resolve even with the latest patch from "jogibear9988". With a little time, these can be resolved. One of the issues is that some language strings are missing (Example: "modules/_shared/lang/English.lang"). Please run the script "build_translation.pl". A couple other issues exist, but they are simple to resolve. With a little time, the system can even be modified to stream live TV. It works well.
