Hi,

I tried downloading and running TapeWorm. It worked immediately (I
have never been able of making WinMyth work, but I already had dsmyth
installed) and it looks promising.
I ran into the following problems:
- The list only showed the first 110 recordings or so. The remaining
were not shown and could therefore not be started.
- When I pressed play Windows Media Player started. Usually I use Zoom
Player for MythTV recordings, because it can better handle that my
recordings are at 480x576 pixels. So it would be nice if I could
control which player to use.
- It could not handle UTF8 encoded characters in titles or
descriptions correctly.

Best regards
Niels Dybdahl
