Hi Phill,

When I last looked at the 'mythfilldatabase' program it would fill the 
database's 'category' field with the first entry in the xml file and set the 
'category_type' field if the first, second or more xml file entries matched 
the special keywords 'movie', 'sports', 'series', 'tvshow'.

Attached is a patch for the old immir script.  The 'star-rating' is simply 
translated from the rating field to over come an old Mythtv short coming.  
The format of the star field is important and Mythweb supports up to 4 stars 
with half stars, hence the divide by 8.

Hope it helps,
Paul
