I use http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/142921#142921
(make sure you get the updated scripts at
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/143042#143042 ) so I
can have everything in the database allowing me to choose a show while
browsing posters in gallery view. If you wanted to go directly to a
particular show on a DVD, you could modify the script a bit.
