The frontend caches the recordings list until the backend tells it that
the list has been updated.  If you're going to make a patch, it should
be to allow mythrename.pl to tell the backend that it needs to send out
a RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE message so that the frontends will invalidate
their cache and reretrieve the recordings list.

When you have the patch that uses the Myth protocol to do this, you can
open a ticket and make sure you mark it as 'Patch'.
