I had to edit the "ui.xml" for my theme. I found the info somewhere online, but
forgot where. Here is a snip from my file. I am using 'mythcenter wide' and
this shows the date (without year, unfortunately) down in the description area.
If memory serves, I think it took editing a CPP file and recompiling in order
to change the date format to include the year. It has not been high enough on
the priority list to track down. I also edited it to show the file size, which
is a quick way to tell if the file has been transcoded yet.
