Description	Adds previously MythArchived tracks to new recordings, for creating new DVDs
Supports

This tacky shell script was created as an extra menu item in MythArchive. It sort of does the opposite of Archiving TV recordings. My wife uses it to create new DVD compilations from previously created DVDs. e.g. a new science TV programme on earthworms is recorded, so she imports old clips about green waste processing or composting, and MythArchives them all out onto a new disc.

This was for an old KnoppMyth machine that had been upgraded to 0.21. Current myth.rebuilddatabase.pl probably behaves very differently.

# We now have files like:

# dvdauthor.xml    vob_01m_004.vob  vob_01m_009.vob  vob_01t_005.vob
# vob_00m_001.vob  vob_01m_005.vob  vob_01t_001.vob  vob_01t_006.vob

# We only care about the titles.

# Fix the seektable.

# The 'mythcommflag  --rebuild' in myth.rebuilddatabase.pl doesn't
# seem to work on these files, so we have to do it differently.
#
# Filename prefix has now changed, so to fix seektable,
# we dumbly process all recent files with the suffix.
