[mythtv] Inserting into the database and scheduling a job from a
script

Hi all -
Let's say, for example, that I had the wild and crazy idea to modify
mythtivo to... instead of playing a recording with its custom version of
mplayer... call a script instead that will do the following:
1. Extract the show from my Tivo
2. Convert to mpeg2
3. Put the file into my recording directory
4. Call a modified myth.rebuilddatabase.pl script to insert the
appropriate records ito the db (which I haven't done yet - my perl is
AWFUL!)
5. Call mythcommflag to add a seek table to the recording
Well, I figure that should get me most of the way there. Unfortunately,
I don't get to cut commercials very easily. Sooo... I figured I'd do
something really ugly...
6. Insert a job into the scheduler to transcode the recording
At that point, I *should*, theoretically, be able to edit the recording
to pull commercials and transcode it again...
So I'm stuck at steps 4 (due to my ugly perl) and step 6, which I have
no idea how to do... should be a simple question, but it's eluding me...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Ian
