You could do what I do, use mythrename.pl (if using SVN) or mythname.sh
(I think) with 0.18 (you may have to hunt around for it) and make pretty
symlinks for everything. I've recently modified mythrename to create sub
directories by title, so with a cron job I get a directory that looks
like this:
root at mythtv:/usr/local/bin# ls -l /myth/tv/shows/
Auto_Racing Corner_Gas Honda_Test_Drive
Just_Ask_Jon_Eakes Rescue_Me
CSI:_Crime_Scene_Investigation Drag_Racing Honda_at_Speed
Law_&_Order:_Criminal_Intent Rick_Mercer_Report
Canada's_Worst_Driver Honda_Civic_Launch How_It's_Made
Monster_Garage World_Poker_Tour
And in say the Auto_Racing directory I have:
root at mythtv:/usr/local/bin# ls /myth/tv/shows/Auto_Racing/
2005-11-26 SCCA Runoffs- GT Lite.mpg 2006-01-04 British Touring
Car Championship Series.mpg
2005-11-27 SCCA Runoffs- G Production.mpg 2006-01-11 British Touring
Car Championship Series.mpg
2005-12-02 SCCA Runoffs- Sports 2000.mpg 2006-01-18 British Touring
Car Championship Series.mpg
2006-01-01 SCCA Runoffs- Grand Touring 2.mpg 2006-01-18 German Touring
Car Series.mpg
I share /myth/tv/shows via Samba, and then anything that mounts it has a
nice, easy to read list of what's available. I have cron run it at 3 and
33 past the hour, so it's reasonably up to date. You could run it every
5 minutes, if needed, it's not cpu intensive.
