[mythtv] Proposed patch to mythvideo

[Jesse Dhillon]

Hi,

I am interested in adding the following functionality for MythVideo,
which would also need to modify imdb.pl and the videometadata table:

* When the IMDB metadata indicates that the selected video is part of a
television series, store the original air date, season and episode
numbering information.
* Allow the option to sort videos in the following manner:
    * videos with season numbers sort earlier than those without
    * videos with lower season numbers sort lower than those with higher
numbers
    * videos with episode numbers sort earlier than those without
    * videos with lower episode numbers sort earlier than those with
higher numbers
    * videos without any such information are sorted alphabetically

The purpose of this functionality is to end the absolutely unforgivable
requirement for a web browser to lookup the next episode (and often
stumble across spoiling information for episodes later in the season)
when one is watching a television series in order in MythVideo. Is
anyone else working on such a patch? Thanks,

Jesse.
