AlbumART for recorded TV has never worked in my history of using  
MythTV with the PS3.
PlayOn showed the way to go. It has been bugging me for a while, and I  
finally got around
to doing something about it.

Here is a patch against trunk (attached) that fixes this and also adds  
setting the
dc:date value (which makes for better presentation in PS3 info, plus  
shows up below the
title in PS3 browse).

I'm not much of a C++ guy, so forgive me if there are goobers.  
Compiles clean, works well
(also have a fix for 0.22-fixes branch if wanted). I also fixed up  
some double-escaping
along the way on item at id.

Note that this is not DLNA compliant - they expect "albumart" for  
videoitems to be
conveyed as an additional <res> containing the thumbnail, and they  
also desire that you
provide a JPEG_TN, but GetPreviewImage provides only PNG as far as I can tell.

Let me know if I broke protocol on updates. All I need now is a  
committer to get this
into trunk, or a person to give me committer privileges.

Regards
Steve
