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.
