Maybe turn the script into an mtd like process, or wrap the script with one?
That way it can be run with QProcess and progress can also monitored or
stopped even if the frontend is restarted. I've not really used MythArchive,
so these things might already be possible, but an archive daemon also brings
up the possibility of creating an archive jobqueue, scheduling a batch of jobs
and then having them progress even after the frontend is exited.
