Any feedback on this? Could this get checked in?
Advantages:
* It consolidates the movie detection in one place instead of 3
places in MythWeb plus potentionally others in MythTV (see the
patch for the program finder that somebody posted a while ago)
* It is more reliable
o it can work for any country, in different ways
o grabbers have the option to unambiguously provide the
information, completely removing the need for any guessing
* It's faster - the recognition is done once per programme in a cron
job, not everytime at when it's displayed
