I've done some looking around and found this thread 

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/62533?nohighlight=1#62533

I'm thinking of renaming the files I want to show up in the recordings
windows with the myth convention (as the thread above suggests) and
running the "myth.rebuilddatabase.pl" script found in the contrib
folder in Myth (my location: /usr/share/mythtv-0.15.1/contrib/ (Yes,
I'm still running 0.15.1.  If it ain't broke...))

I'll probably back up my database first using the directions in the
myth docs in case I blow something up.

Anyone do this?  Experiences?  Suggestions?
