[mythtv] [PATCH] Add more views to mythgame

[Jon Wanderer]

Hi there,

I've spent a few months assembling and using my mythbox, and I'd just
like to say thanks to everyone who has put this software together--it's
great. I saw some room for improvement in the mythgame interface that
the updates in 0.18 made possible and I put this patch together
(attached).

This is a simple patch that adds to Barney's MythGame improvements. It
expands the two hardcoded nodes to six by adding the ability to see all
of your games sorted by name, system type, year and genre. This makes it
considerably easier for me to browse through the 11,000-odd games I have
spanning 5 game systems as I don't have to leave mythgame to reconfigure
the sort string to get a different view my collection.

Ultimately it would be neat if you could easily search games by name or
jump around alphabetically, say. And it would be even neater if the
nodes' levels/filter strings were stored in the database and were
customizable. But until someone with more time and skill than I have
takes a crack at it, this should make mythgame easier to use.

Cheers,
Jon
